  • Removing satin/matte finish?

    I have a few guitars with satin/matte finishes over ash bodies, the type where you can feel the woodgrain through the finish. One of these is a late `90s SDK-2 Super Dinky, which is a cool guitar, but unfortunately it has a red satin finish that I've grown to dislike.

    I'm not really equipped to do any paint work myself, but I'm curious what the easiest way is to strip the existing finish. I don't know what to expect as far as the appearance of the wood underneath, and I'd probably just go with a different color but the same type of satin finish. Has anyone attempted refinishing something like this? Any tips on how to do it or what to expect?
