Removing paint from guitar body

It is time to refinish the JP-90 bass, so the old finish needs to be removed. With this type of paint/primer all you need is a heat gun and scraper and both top coat and the primer comes off as easily as seen in attached pictures. Just some burn marks were left to be sanded. You can avoid burn marks by using less heat and more patience than I did.




Fender has used different types of paint, so it is not always this easy. For example with my Stratocaster just the top coat came off with heat gun and I had to sand down the primer.
