Step 7 Dismantle guitar for painting

The guitar had been partially refinished. Most, but not all the finish was sanded off. It had been sealed, at least twice (on the second coat the bridge & jack plate had been left on!) The 'blonde' finish is nice, but the laminates had been sanded through in several places, so the effect was not ideal. Better to repaint.

All hardware, neck, etc. must be removed before painting.

The 'refinishing' done by previous owner:
(new pickguard in place for fitting/testing)

you should have kept it like that; a guitar that has a paint job in a state like that looks as though it's seen it's fair share of smoky bars. i'd improve the artificial wear by sanding it down even more and slightly singeing it in places with a lighter.

That's an interesting idea I hadn't even considered...
