Customizing my vintage Peavey T-15 pt.1 - stripping the old finish and doing a German carve

I've almost finished but haven't had time to edit and post the next episode yet. I posted pics to Reddit: www.reddit.com/r/offset/comments/1clrfym/the_poor_mans_mosrite/

The German carve looks cool AF but I always hated that headstock.

[@Thoracius]

To each his own. It's obviously not as classy as something with binding and inlays. And not as stylish as Mosrite. But I think it's cool -- it's got a 70s/80s surfer style to it -- Rusty, Stüssy, etc.

So you think the string tuning instablity has more to do with a loose neck pocket and not with the neck being extremely thin?

[@Thoracius]

I think a little bit of both for sure. It's definitely a lot more stable after honing the neck pocket.

Why wouldn't you just use paint stripper?

[@Thoracius]

I don't know. Why would you use paint stripper? Costs money and isn't any faster and makes a mess?
