                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[If you sanded with 2000 grit you haven't damaged anything.  Jeez, 2000 grit is like sanding with regular paper.  What you need to do is take the 2000 grit and lightly sand around the area.  Then get 00000 steel wool (VERY FINE) the steel wool will shine it up like nobody's business.  Once done, you can also get some guitar finish wax and wax the finish and it should shine up.<br><br>If you don't feel comfortable fooling with it anymore, bring it to a guitar shop.  They can fix it in about 5 minutes.]]></content:encoded>
