    I know right! Had some awesome guitar riffs come out of the 90's too.

    I sanded back the body today, cleaned up some runs and re-sprayed 3 coats (20min intervals). Came out really good. Hoping one last set of 3 will be enough. Still have a few small dents, most i'm ok with but there is one one the front that is annoying. Anyway still looks pretty awesome.

    I also sanded back the primer on the headstock front and respired more primer as i wasn't happy with the finish, but has come up a lot better now. Ready for white colour spray next time the weather is kind.

    Any ideas on the neck finish?? I was thinking of using Teak Oil??

    Teak Oil or Danish Oil will work okay, you can also use poly or dingotone neck finish, I’ve had good results with that.

    Yep, that will work just hold in mind it has a yellowing effect as it ages. I've not used it, but it is a "Go To" for a lot of the guys here on the forum.
