Whetstone, a sharpening stone used for knives and other cutting tools. I have used one for this too and it works brill :daumenhoch:

just wrap some emerycloth round a file,grab each end and draw it to and fro over the stem making linear strokes :daumenhoch:

Tuf necks would have originally been finished using a Linsher,which is basically a belt sander mounted on a pedestal :daumenhoch:

the parts were simply pushed onto the moving belt by hand making the familiar brushed finish :daumenhoch:

A typical linisher is shown below :D

deeman:
to replicate this finish,you should be able to get a bit of 80 grit wet n dry or maybe try softer to start with like a 180 grit and rub the part one way in a linear motion(to replicate the belt sander,then clean it up with first a red(coarse)scotch brite,then a grey(fine)scotch.you can stop at any stage when you think it looks right.i work with alloy wheels and have to try and replicate many different finishes,this should work.try a test area maybe underneath to start with first.
