I cleaned up my modified 1987 Fender American standard Stratocaster

[Blazer]

Well it went from looking like a blotched up spraycan-painted black and red mess back to the olympic white it was originally finished in.


And trust me, getting it to look like this took a LOT of work. Not just the removal of the red spray paint but also sanding out the big scratches using 1000 grid sandpaper and buffing it to a shine again.

Considering that I am aiming to sell this one on, it was well worth it, it looks the part now which cannot be said about how it looked before the overhaul

wait a minute, I'm confused. Are you saying that's the same body?

[Budman68]

Why'd you remove the other pic? It wasn't the same body was it?

Guilty as charged. As it stands, I was looking for the picture of the "Shelby" in red and due to a malfunctioning browser took the wrong one. And when I realised the mistake I also found out that I had deleated the picture I actually wanted to use.
