A brand new life to my Thinline Custom Telecaster

That looks beautiful, Jipes! You guys did a pro job. While I understand Jimi's perspective, there is a difference between a worn/aged finish and a defective one. My Tacoma acoustic suffers from the same problem, due to a finish issue (typical unfortunately to Tacoma's), where chunks of the finish bubble up and flake off - it does indeed look like the guitar has leprosy! I will be only too happy to return the beauty of this instrument someday by stripping it down and refinishing it.

Thanks a lot TJ, yes it's a bit heartbreaking to have a finish peeling off that much. I hope you'll get the chance to renew your Tacoma one day !
