Anyone got experience of stripping a gloss finish off the back of a neck?
My mustang is gloss but I want it to be smooth like my CS P-bass.
Some online posts are saying using a scalpel/stanley blade to scrape it off is the way but this seems fraught with danger, any proven techniques here?

I saw on revstar forum that going over it with a mild abrasive (wet & dry paper?) gives a smoother, less sticky finish. There's some risk with any approach, but I guess using an abrasive always leaves the option of completely stripping it off later.

Yeah. I'd go with the softly, softly approach. Start with a very fine grit sandpaper and just keep working it until it feels smooth enough for you. Don't go near it with a Stanley knife!
