I haven't figured out how to get the bridge off..and that's keeping the front unsanded. The rest is done except for a little bit of edge where the neck and body meet.

I could hear a difference in the way the sander noise carried through the box as I got more finish cleaned off. I'm starting to get excited about putting the thing back together and playing with it!


The binding is binding (I was afraid it might be a paintjob) and the dots are poked in the binding..they're not surface paint.
The bridge is still a plastic monstrosity, but otherwise, I've been pleased with what I've found under all that shine.
