Anyone remove the black paint from a Bigsby? I'm building an albino guitar so i can't have the black. I thought before I jump in with chemicals I'd ask for experience? Does anyone know what type of paint is used on these things? Thanks, Hyde

I'd try some lacquer thinner first.

Yup, that did the trick. Very slowly, but it worked. What ever they use, it's thick & tough.
