I can't post links to my Reverb.com sales can I? More pics and details there... It's developing some really nice horizontal checking as I keep moving it from a very warm room to the shed. I don't like the compressed air can approach, doesn't look right to me. Looking forward to the supposed 'arctic' temps tonight... very hard to capture it in a picture though, especially out of natural light.

I love ridding vintage guitars of horrible refins and giving them the finish they deserve, drop me a message if I can help you!

And finished this basket case strat refin... well not exactly basket case, but it was a bit of a state when it came to me. Had to rebuild the horns pretty much as had been stripped with heat and a metal scraper and already had a tonne of battle scars. Now it's a cheap guitar with a very expensive looking paint job! Think the owner is going to be very happy.

Another busy few days of sanding and buffing this weekend (including your IBM strat @Flametop !!) before starting a big batch of refins and custom orders. Excited about the next lot of orders - it features a Shoreline Gold Jag, LPB Jag, JM & tele. LPB over sunburst Strat, Blonde Tele, aged Firemist Silver JM... lots of cool commissions. A lot of LPB this time...
At capacity until late March/early April by the looks of it. Wish I hadn't sliced my trigger finger wide open with a razor blade as soon as I got to the workshop this morning!

And if anyone is curious to see what's under the old Fender AVRI 'nitro' finish:
It's a 1-2mm thick layer of poly sealer - common knowledge now I guess, but still interesting to experience firsthand. It pretty much just lifted off this JM with a gentle heat. Far easier than using stripper in this case.
not long later:
No major prejudice against such sealer-primer layers - they are actually a real dream to paint over - but the guitar has shed a few MM and a fair few grammes since this afternoon!

People genuinely believe they’re getting the real thing because that’s what the spec sheet said. False advertising much?!
