Per,
If you're happy with the tone, don't do anything that can't be undone in 20 seconds, or less, because once the tone is altered, there is no going back..

| Bondo! That's the ticket! Smear on some Bondo, sand it smooth, and paint it or tape it, or whatever! 8^) |

My advice is to either do it right or don't do it at all. That means you should take the guitar completely apart and have it properly relaminated. Once you gotten that far, it makes sense to fully rebuild it (clean, buff, lube and turn the changer axle etc). It's not for the faint of heart, but it's also not brain surgery.
An old stock Emmons will hold is value, while a meticulously rebuilt one can increase its worth. Most people do not want a guitar that's been irreversibly altered "on the cheap". |

Very wise advice. It's exactly what I did!

Just to make things clear once more: The guitar IS ALREADY BEAUTIFULLY REBUILT and as new or even better mechanically, and I SIMPLY WILL NOT risk ruining that by taking it apart.
My question was if anyone knew if it was possible to sand down the mica's texture in preparation for a glossy black wrap, that's all.
Please close the subject. |
