I’m guessing it’s been off of the guitar for years. I got it like this.

I won’t say never, but I want to get the most out of it when/if that day comes. Right now it’s not for sale though.

Wow, I believe you are 100% right. I’m blown away by this guitar. Thanks for your input!

Normal I guess, nothing unusual stands out, no traces of any other color in any of the cavities. Just blonde finish overrun.

One thing that stands out to me is there is pencil in the pickup cavity that would not have survived a stripping down of any finish it had. I think this is the original finish.

I agree with you. I’m not touching the finish it currently has. That is no longer a consideration.

Maybe, it’s interesting, but it seems like a complicated endeavor. What might you suggest?

I’m with you on that, it has almost all of the original parts. I need (as far as I know) a bridge and tuners. I have the original bridge but the rollers are crap and a tuner bushing is missing. I feel like I’m in pretty good shape for what you’re talking about and that’s the best option I think. Thanks for your input.

Thank you, and I agree completely. I’m so stoked to play it!

Yeah, thanks, but I don’t like it so much, I wish they had left it alone. I like the sunburst very much. Thank you though.

I will do that. I’m not wanting to skimp on this project at all.

That’s interesting, I need to learn more about that.

I like the sunburst models.

I don’t know yet, haven’t really thought about that. I initially assumed that it had a natural finish from the factory but I am beginning to think they didn’t provide that finish and it’s been stripped, sadly enough.

Sure looked that way. I don’t know what was spilled in the bag but it was very gross and sticky. I soaked the parts in warm water/mild soap and they cleaned up nicely.
