any advice on stripping a poly neck? Don’t really need to refinish it but I think once the body has had some aging the poly neck going to look a little out of place!...
edit- ps, got a full refund on the boat anchor in the end and just repaired the body existing body!...
Yip...
1. Buy a pack of Stanley blades
2. Put some good tunes on
3. Pour yourself a beer
Your best bet is to scrape that poly off. It’ll take a while but it’ll be worth it
Good call on the body, I’m glad you got it sorted.

Change for a fresh blade regularly.

Currently drying out before wet sanding, buffing and ageing.
The took a lot of time to strip but it’s looking good with a little reshaping too.

Better?
To this via a lot of blades.. (you can see the diff as in this pic the headstock was yet to be done)
Feel the pain, this was/is not a fun job...
body painted, doesn’t look quite right with the Bakelite guard tho’
Body is a bit too too pale to pull it off.. so a callaham parchment guard was blagged from the bay... looks better with white methinks...
In the meantime @TheGuitarWeasel wound me a rather lovely looking pickup for the bridge and I managed to find something I remember being a bit special in the shed...
Just got to bolt it all back back together now!!!
