At the moment, I am oddly attracted to really cheap guitars. I bought myself one as a toy and ended up getting a couple more for two niece birthdays..and one of those has caught my eye.

The finish is absurdly shiny and looks thick. I am thinking about getting one for myself and removing the finish to make it look more like a small old-time guitar.

I'm putting this thread in BS because I consider it to be a wood/plastic question.

How would I figure out what kind of remover to use to take the finish off? I would want something easy (smear-on/wipe-off would delight me) that isn't too expensive (under $20)

Thanks,
M
