Today I dismantled my early 50's Fender Dual 8 Professional. Someone thought it would be a great idea to paint it red and although I like red,It was a really bad job on it. They didn't paint the bottom so I am going to try to match the finish on the bottom. The front neck had a bad pockup, so I sent it to my good friend andpickup Guru,Dave at Budz guitars. He did a wonderful job on it! So I'm going tostart my process on this thread. I do need a spaghetti Fender decal for the front of the guitar, so if anybody knows where I might find one, let me know!
Spent today stripping red paint and primer.Sanding and sealing tomorrow. Oh yeah!!

that should be a fun project...IF I ever found one in really bad shape that I figured i couldnt mess up any worse than it was already in, hahaa
anyway, I got a decal from steel guitars of Nashville when Bobbye Symoure owned it, may he rest in peace.
\might give them a try. Good luck and have fun with your project.

How is the progress on your steel going ? Would enjoy seeing more pictures of it.
