the 600 took the gloss off quickly.
When the sandpaper arrives...I'll work the same spot up to 2400 or 3000 and then decide how to go about the rest.
I'll look into that cutting polish too.
Have link?

more like it tells people you've spent
years jamming on it when really you spent
a week or more meticulously sanding it and rubbing dirt and other things into it.
I also, am not a big fan of relicing but it sure as hell looks a lot better when done right than when not. my problem with it is that when you pick up the guitar you won't think of it like you've played it for years; you will always think of all the work you put into it to make it look like you have. and we all know, how you feel about the guitar is the most important thing. You can fool everyone else, but you'll never fool yourself.

i've only relic'd one guitar body before, but i think it turned out alright:
the key is to get really drunk before hand.

sorry, I wasn't trying to rag on you at all. If you like it that's awesome. I was really just saying why I wouldn't relic my own guitars.
