Hey guys!! Got this ESP EC-256 and I’m interested in taking off the satin finish to get to bare wood. Any tips how to do that?? I’m not scared of messing it up in case you’re wondering lol
Well ventilated and out of direct sunlight. Dilute to one part per billion before ingesting or may cause post-birth defects. You might want to tape off the binding and address that manually near the edges. You can sand that part and then use a razor to smooth out the binding from sanding scuffs/scratches. Probably best to tape off anywhere there is glue like the neck joint and fingerboard... possibly scarf joint. Have fun!
Removing it by hand is a pain.
I’d use a hand held orbital polisher with 80 or 120 grit sandpaper to remove the paint, then move up to 220, 320, 400, etc…for finishing.
