Nebrethar Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 Ok, so I have an 04 special. It's a great guitar but i'd like to make it a little more original. This is what it looks like: http://cubeupload.com/im/fOA5Eo.jpg I'm thinking of refinishing it. Now i have a buddy of mine who is a luthier and I've seen him do dozens odd finishes on dozens of guitars. I'm considering just a worn natural, but i would need to know two things before i dive into it....: 1. How deep is the stain? There is no coated finish but it has a red stain and I don't know how deep it is. and 2. What shade is the wood, and what type of wood is it? It's a little on the heavy side and has a slightly similar texture to the rosewood fretboard. Thanks for anyone that gives their advice on the situation. P.S. If anyone throws a really good idea my way I might just try it. Money is not an issue. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 The finish will wash right off with lacquer thinner. Trust me, I know first hand. You might want to look at the video I made of the rescue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
