Strip it down. No need to use abrasion, which also alters the wood. With what you used, it'll strip easy with mild strippers, and clean up with lacquer thinner. It'll take 30 minutes and won't reshape the wood in the slightest. Manual abrasion is usually the worst possible way to strip a finish completely off.I'm just a few hundred lessons away from being a great guitar player.......

Solvent based finish over oil. I had my doubts...but wasn't 100 percent sure, as I'd never have thought to have tried it. You did use shellac in between...but maybe the oil wasn't well dried enough first. Did you use dewaxed shellac?Last edited by ItsaBass; 08-26-2020, 04:14 PM.Originally posted by LesStratYogi Berra was correct.Originally posted by JOLLYI do a few chord things, some crappy lead stuff, and then some rhythm stuff.

If it wasn’t specifically billed as dewaxed shellac, it probably wasn’t, and that might be the problem.Originally posted by LesStratYogi Berra was correct.Originally posted by JOLLYI do a few chord things, some crappy lead stuff, and then some rhythm stuff.
