Default Removing finish on vintage Gibson L30

So I bought a 1936 or possibly 1937 Gibson L30. Lady's late husband was a luthier and was going to repair the guitar before passing away. The top and sides are original and and have been stripped of about 85% of the original finish. Sides have a reminat of pink staining. The top has it around the edges. I removed the back because it was cheap plywood. Saved the braces as best I could. Going to put on a new back eventually.
So what's the best was to remove the rest of the left over finish? Acetone? Sanding?
