There is an undercover area that well protected, but still not sure about it i'll be moving in a 3 or 4 months and specifically looking for a place with garage. Though i can do other stuff to the guitar now like sanding and wood work stuff i was originally thinking of staining it then have it burst to black to cover the change between the top to alder but i could add cream purfling and possibly some inlay on the headstock(the headstock has nothing on it). i've been looking at prs's with the tiger strip finish and i've basically found 3 i like<br><br><a href="http://www.postimage.org/image.php?v=aVyGVIJ"><IMG src="http://www.postimage.org/aVyGVIJ.jpg">http://www.postimage.org/aVyGVIJ.jpg</IMG></a><br><br><a href="http://www.postimage.org/image.php?v=aVyHoEr"><IMG src="http://www.postimage.org/aVyHoEr.jpg">http://www.postimage.org/aVyHoEr.jpg</IMG></a><br><br><a href="http://www.postimage.org/image.php?v=Pqyf_y0"><IMG src="http://www.postimage.org/Pqyf_y0.jpg">http://www.postimage.org/Pqyf_y0.jpg</IMG></a><br><br>you opinions and or suggestions about what i should do next would be would be much appreciated you have helped me alot]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[that thing for dinged areas wet rag or hot iron to pull out that dents is that just to raise the grain of crushed wood? 
That's exactly what it does. Best way is to put a wet cloth over the ding and touch a hot iron or soldering iron to the rag to steam the dent. I have a favorite old rifle I need to do that with. Got badly dinged up from being stacked under another one, both in soft cases. The bolt knob of the other one pressed dents in the wood stock.]]></content:encoded>

I'll have to buy some more.<br><br>Yes i know i should remove the hardware i did that later that night i just did it quickly when i got back from work so i could do some of it in the daylight and there isn't much hardware on the back except in cavities which i havtnt been stripping i'm unsure if i should bother stripping them as the wood is very rough in there and would take a lot of effort for something that will be covered up.<br><br>and that thing for dinged areas wet rag or hot iron to pull out that dents is that just to raise the grain of crushed wood? i'm not really sure what to expect from doing that. Could you explain exactly what it does and the details of doing it katmetal?]]></content:encoded>

I have done this before, paint stripper sure makes it easy! I also used a wire brush (gently) to work some of the paint out of "dinged" areas.<br><br>For the dinged areas, you could then use a wet rag/hot iron to pull the dents out. Woodworkers commonly use that method, works pretty well.<br><br>Good Luck! :)]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[I've never stripped a guitar but I've done a kitchen full of cabinets.  For the sanding you really want to use a sanding block for the flat parts - it's far too easy to add a ripple or dip in the wood.  Even if there is some curvature a smaller sanding block or stick can be helpful.  For the really intricate parts a sanding sponge can be useful - a spongy material with a sanding surface - to get into the details.]]></content:encoded>
