I’m interested to know how you removed the lacquer and stain.

Probably a lot of abrasives and elbow grease.

I used a pretty harsh remover (think it was Circa) but it got to a point where I had to sand...and sand some more...which was a little hard on the nerves with all the contours on it, fun but not fun
It was a complete body strip and refinish

I was assuming you must have used something pretty strong, as I remember a PRS paint removal video from you tube and the guy had a hard time taking the body back to natural.
It’s a testament to the strength of the finish that is used.
You did some really careful sanding work. Keeping those PRS carves was a work of art.

Nice!complete
Thanks
I've done some guitar bodies prior but nothing like that one, the finish is like tank armor and once I got to the stain removal the sanding was a very,very long careful process and to be honest, I'd still be nervous doing another one lol

Yeah the YT video guy had a heck of a job!
I can only imagine that your heart rate was up, keeping those contours!
As I said, great work.

i couldn’t decide on pickup rings so it’s in hot rod mode for now. the 5-way is stock wiring with the bridge moved into the middle, and the idea is to add a mini knob between volume and tone knobs to blend the rear 5-way with the (currently wired to the middle position with gator clips) twanger single coil. anyway, it looks like this:
‘double rotary? are you kidding me?’ no i ain’t.
