yeah sounds like a good idea Nick, I suggest you try gluing onto the orange paint on a test piece to make sure the paisley glues ok on paint

Good point Wokks.
@Stan i'd been planning a paisley for a while but I just didn't know how to go about it :P will see how we go!
no worries Nick, since you are in the market for a neck now I suggest you buy a PBG neck are $50 and will be brand new and you can shape the headstock

Spewing bout the neck man. Will be watching this build though, doing a fabric 3/4 strat when we find out if we're having a boy/girl.
Holy sanding sealer, Batman!
About 1/3 through stripping and there is so much it's ridiculous
Hahaha I have a new found hate for that gear. Does it clog up your sandpaper. The fw ss does after 3 strokes, sooooooooooo Crap.
Yeah man! I used the heat gun to strip the majority of the lacquer but this sealer just won't budge. I think I'm going to have to sand through it by hand now *sigh*
Think of how massive your forearms will be.
So here's some progress from today.
The lacquer came off extremely easily - half the time I didn't even need to touch it. It just flaked off.
The bitch was the sanding sealer that was lurking beneath. This shit is seriously about 2-3mm thick and resistant to heat. After much scraping and heating with the gun I just had to man up and use some muscle to start stripping it.
The sealer:
Getting there...
Not much to go:
I now understand why my luthier friend would rather build a new body than refinish. Yikes.
Any guesses as to what wood this is? I haven't seen something this dark in a cheapy Chinese manufacture before.
