Hey there, all... I'm new. This looks like a cool site.
Ah, so... I'm 14, a guitarist of 6 years, i own 7 guitars... (one of which is my prized Gibson ZW LP model )
I just got a new guitar off e-bay for about 150 bucks, its a Vantage, 118T model. Its real nice, its got a maple neck and everything, HSS pickup configuration, black finish.
But I was kind of interested in removing the finish down to a natural wood tone. I heard that this can be achieved by taking off the paint with real fine sandpaper, like... 400 grit or something, and then oiling it.
Have any of you ever done this? Hope you all can help, and... thanks in advance. Any insight will be GREATLY appreciated I wouldnt wanna' mess something up.
