But you should be able to refinish huh? Just wash the whole body with acetone, get it fairly smooth and the new lacquer should melt right in with the old shouldn't it?
Not to contradict you Bent but, if it's apart already, I wouldn't chance it, I would strip it, and start from scratch. Sometimes stain matching can get tricky(ask me how I know) LOL
Lookin good Bro, I think you might just make a machinist yet.
