hi guys , it's been ages since i last posted , up to my ears with work and a new band but i do drop in now and then to see whats happeing (not as much as i'd like though ) so i thought i'd drop in and make a post i got a strat dropped off to me this morning by my bro in law , it's a mij 52 reissue made in 85 ( i was with him when he bought it new ) it came through my door in bits , he was going to refinish it (it's been this way for at least 10 years) so he had been sanding on the back and around the trem on the front , so this avo i sanded off the remaining poly on the back and the front flat part , the rest i'm just going to paint over to black as it was so the primer is on , i'll get it sanded tomorrow night after work , i'll try and get a few pics up as well guys , cheers
Alan

Do you mean a '54 reissue? (figuring it must be a strat if it has a trem). If I am wrong, It won't be the first time I have applied false logic. Please excuse me.

Also, good to hear from you, pal.

Ah, I am glad that you are back mate, there was a shortage of epic footwear on the forum while you where gone.
