A friend of mine has a 1997 American Standard Telecaster, the neck finish is flaking off in large sections.
Could anyone tell me what finish fender used on necks during this time period, I would also like to know if there are any kinds of paint stripper that is safe to use on these necks. one of the spots is in the middle of the fourth fret that is the reason I was wanting to use a paint stripper instead of sanding. I have done a lot of refinishing before but this guitar has a lot of sentimental value to my friend because it belonged to his late brother, and I am sort of nervous about working on it.
Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.
