Tread lightly on the sides with that sander! It'll have been a lot easier to control on the back and front than on the sides... I'd recommend getting some proper razor blades and having a go at scraping the finish off to see how it goes, I've been amazed at how efficient it's been while working on the Bronco neck!

Oh and @>>>>>> why didn't I listen to you and flog the Guild as was?
I started sanding the back (which I thought was already stripped back to near bare wood). As soon as I started sanding two things happened:
1: I realised that my previous efforts at sanding hadn't in fact gone all the way though the finish and I probably could buff it back to gloss to match the sides.
2: The new electric detail sander I bought for the job, left a mess of deep gouges in the back and one spot of bare wood, which immediately made item 1. impossible to revert to. Fuck.
So no I'm committed. Which is a pain in the arse because the sander makes such a fucking racket I can't really do it for long. Even in the garden. I might set up a bench in the shed and head out there with a mask and some earplugs when the weather perks up. FFS.
