The back of the neck has been rockin' the bare look for a while now. Shaved that long ago.

Re: Les Paul Studio with faux binding
Honestly, I don't really know. It seems livelier and I'm really enjoying it much more than I ever have before, and I want to say "Hellz yeah, it sounds LOADS better," but I'm not really sure it actually sounds any different.
I suspect, if I'm being totally honest, any sound improvement I'm hearing is probably a psychological one. One way or the other, I've been far more apt to play it than i have before. Usually I'll play it for a bit, then put it down and grab something else, but not so the last couple of days.

Success!

Did you sand down to a stinger? That's always a great look.

Re: Les Paul Studio with faux binding
All of "Battle Los Angeles" and maybe 1/2 to 2/3rd of the way throug the "True Grit" remake to strip and sand, plus maybe a couple of hours of careful prep sanding for the Tung Oil.
2 days from first application of paint stripper to final wipedown of the dried tung oil.
The real trick was making sure I kept the paint stripper off the top, it was trickier than you might think. Flecks of paint with stripper on them were a bear to deal with, don't know how I kept them from ruining the top.
Thank you!!
