I plan on refinishing my Hagstrom and need help and information on how to go about it. Has anyone here refinished a guitar? I'd like to go down to the bare wood, and put on a similar colour, (Wine Red) and make in somewhat transperant. Anyone know how to help?

Vacate is the word...Vengance has no place on me or her...Cannot find a comfort in this world.

Refinishing any guitar is a major undertaking but fun and rewarding if you take the time to do it right.

Just one thought comes to mind when you mentioned going down to bare wood and refinishing in a transparent color. The thought was you may want to first figure out what the wood is and if it is a solid piece of wood or not. Transparent on a multi layered wood may not come out as good as you would like.

Here is a site dedicated to building and refinishing guitars that may give you some ideas. http://www.projectguitar.com
