Strat project troubles

[beandip]

Ok, I've got the front and back completely sanded down. John, I used that glass w/ paint stripper trick, worked real good. Didnt go through the trans red finish though. Anyway, I dont know how I'm gonna sand the sides and insides of the horns. Do I just have to sit there and do it by hand? or is there another trick I dont know about?

YUP !! You said it, Round objects. It contours to body keeps ya from
getting flat spots. I use it for rough sanding a Strat. Works like a
charm.

Really? I've got one in 60 grit, and it dosnt even mar the surface of the trans red finish. I dont know what that stuff is, but it'd bullet proof.
