Arie,
I'm scared that I would damage the instrument if I did it myself, other than putting a satin finish which I've done to an old Takimine guitar.
Dischord,
I just heard back from someone at FMIC. I do not have the receipt, but I might be able to pull bank records since it was paid for by a check about 10 years ago. He said that since the guitar was from the 2nd year that Tacoma was even building guitars, that it should be covered and be eligible for a full refinishing in Nashville (which is about an hour and a half from where I am). He said that if I could not produce the records, that they should still be able to cover it, but it will just be extra paperwork and processing time. So, off to the bank I go!
