I would avoid any powered buffing/sanding of tru-oil. It goes on 'really' thin - and hand-buffs easily. Powered tools will pull it out of the grain fairly quickly.
Guys like RR and Dave Meniketti (Y&T) didn't use a special 'stutter switch'. They just used the toggle-switch on thier LP's with the vol on the other p/u rolled off.
I went through soooo many on my SG...
I feel it's the manufacturers' fault as well, but...
1. I'm not the original owner. (owner#3)
2. The warranty card was never sent in by the original owner.
3. I don't have the months it would take to resolve this with Fender - and I live 15 min from Fender HQ. I need to move this soon.

I put a small drop 'o glue uder the chip - let dry. Then a verrrry light coat of black. Tomorrow, I'll wet sand. Then a touch of clear - dry, wet sand, polish.
I'm feeling mucho better about this.
Thx dudes!!
