I have that '90s Yamaha body I'm working on as a parts guitar project, and I read that the bodies were ash on these so, rather than sanding it, I wanted to strip it down off-chance it had a nice grain. It's actually pretty nice so rather than paint it, I want it stripped to wood to use tung oil on instead.
So, saw some videos, heat gun and a scraper and paint just comes off. Nope... 4-5 hours I barely got the stuff off the front and back. Paint is off, but whatever the clear sealer is will not come off easy. With the work needed and few scuff I need to now sand out, there was no way I'd get the sides done, especially on the inside curves of the cutaways.
Grabbed some DS Super Remover, said ultra strong and removes varnish, epoxy, paint, etc... coated it, waited 25min, scraped, repeated 2x and paint gone, but that base coat/sealer is on there and didn't seem to be affected at all.
What (if anything) can remove that coating? What is that stuff made of?
