MD re-setting and re-finishing

My previously completed guitar has a finishing material issue. I have experienced a curing issue using the Target EM7000 finishing material. This finish required extremely long curing time, and never get herd enough coat. You may see the second photo for the machine head scares. Those are clear evidences for how much finish has been sunken. Now, I am re-finishing using the EM6000 formula. I will spray one-hour/coat schedule. I spray 4 to 5 coat/day, and total 8 to 10 coats I apply. This makes pretty good results for me.
I shipped this guitar to Japan. There is a big humidity difference between California and Japan. Due to the high humidity, this guitar needed to use a strong truss-rod adjustment. To minimize the truss-rod tension, I re-installed fret wires without removing fret wire tings. This makes reverse neck curve to compensate the string tension. In California, this setting makes string action too low; however, the setting for Japan is quite different. I have learned from this lesson.
