Question Dissassembly time : How to remove the silent circuit?

[spkirby]

Dissassembly time cont. : *new* PAINT STRIPPING problems!

Hi folks,

a buddy of mine is in the middle of a refin/renovation project on his axis sport MM90. He's got almost everything stripped off the guitar but is unsure how the silent circuit is attached to the body / how to get it out... can you help?

Thanks

as far as I remember, it is double sided tape

Don't cut the blue wire.

Terrible things will happen.

Just tape? Hahaha... that'll give him a red face! Thanks!

 

[fogman]

why bother taking it out?
just remove the battery

I think steve mentioned that this is for a paint job, not to by pass the silent circuit

 

[spkirby]

Thats right....it's an old sport thats going to get a respray

 

[threeminutesboy]

needless to say we want pics

 

[spkirby]

He's still debating the natural look or going for a colour. I was floating Mary Kaye as it'd look good on swampash...actually any retro trans colour....

Will ask for pics on completion!

 

[threeminutesboy]

Trans pink or trans blue all the way for me

Totally! I was thinking of doing that on an old Sport project a while back, but bailed on it. That and a solid RW neck would be wild.

Hi guys! I'm Mr. Kirby's cousin-in-law doing the project. Thanks for the info on the silent circuit! Was being overly cautious as to not break anything. Have run into another challenge. I covered the body in Klean Strip Premium Stripper (aerosol) and let it set for hours. Basically no change to the finish. Any ideas??

Bravo, welcome man. I remember seeing this guitar in the past. Axis Sports are the best.

Reminds me of this scene, was it the blue wire or the red wire?

Was that a give away guitar from the company?

 

[BravoTango]

GW...thanks for the welcome! I've been a lurker for a while, but not much of a poster. I've always noticed though that everyone seems very willing to help!

Update: The finish on this thing is unpenetrable! I stepped up to Aircraft Remover (a horrible name considering I'm a pilot...lol), and nothing! I haven't even gotten through to the stickers! I'm thinking it's time to get the sandpaper out! Any other ideas?

I've done my refinish with sanding right from the start. It's dull, midless work, which I really like
