But to answer the question.. sand the paint off and varnish it? Spraying the body with nitro would not be a huge job. Shell pink? The wear on the neck still looks pretty unusual though

I'm not sure you can just sand it down and spray it with nitro. Don't you have to put grain sealer on it and stuff. I think you still need to do this if you're going to use clear nitro. Plenty on here will know. Out of interest what's the going rate to have a guitar stripped and re-finishing? I'm guessing it will be in the regions of 250 to 300 but that's just a guess.

Yes, grain sealer part of the fun, though I recall it depends a bit on the wood. All depends how much effort you want to go to, whether you would enjoy it?
