Greetings all,
I just picked up yet another axe to add to the arsenal today - a nice
ol' Fender Bronco. I got a great deal on it because it was "re-
painted" a while back, and is just a little beat up. Now I aim to
refurbish this a little bit and make a project out of the whole
thing.
So, my main question is how to approach a re-finish job for a
guitar. I obviously know the basics of sanding it down and prepping
it for the new finish -- but what should I use to put on the new
finish? Any recommendations or pointers?
The other thing is that the previous owner got fed up with the
existing bridge (which was pretty horrible as far as holding tune, as
I recall) and put on a Tele-style tailpiece, which means no whammy
bar! So, what would you recommend for a replacement bridge? I think
a bigsby would look ridiculous, and I don't know if I want to chop
this guitar up enough to add a strat style, or even a Jag/JM style.
Do I have any other options (and if anyone says Floyd Rose, I'll
smack ya'!)?
Any pointers or help would be greatly appreciated!
~Bill~
