I'm considering having the finish removed from my acoustic guitar. I have a few questions about it, though.
First, who would I get to do something like that? Could a regular guitar tech do it, or would I need a specialist? What do you think it'd run me?
Second, what sections would the finish be removed from? I suppose they'll do what I tell them, but what sections should be done? The front, of course. The back? What about the sides? I don't think the sides would be done, or should be. Then that would create a marked transition between the body and the neck, which would look terrible.
Third, what kind of thing would be put on instead? Obviously it can't be just straight wood. I suppose some kind of clear finish. I really don't know. If anyone can answer my questions, I'd be grateful.
