Hi,
I have a Warmoth body that got a bit marked up over the years, it has a mahogany body and a koa top, back finished with paint on the back and the top lacquered.
I wanted to remove the current marked up finish and perhaps re-stain / paint and lacquer again, unfortunately it had some nasty dings and scratches that really couldn't be repaired.
For the most park the paint and lacquer sanded off pretty easily (not that easily but still, not too crazy) but there are a couple of spots that evidently I went too far?
It appears that there's bare wood and then really bare wood and in those few spots the wood is noticeably lighter and there is some exposed grain.
Now I'm assuming that the body has some kind of grain filler / sealer which is also semi tinted?
How to I now get the body so it's the same all over and ready to refinish? Do I have to sand through the grain filler everywhere (it's in there pretty deep), or can I apply some new tinted filler over the top, sand back and go from there?
Such a noob, thanks and sorry.
