In Part One of this series, we took a look at the early stages of restoration work done on this 1983 Ibanez AR30. We are now at about 30 coats of Tru-Oil, with wetsanding having been carried out after every three coats or so. It has been a laborious process, but well worth the effort. Along the way, the two holes meant for the mini-DPDT switches have been sealed, and a spot finish touch-up carried out. So its now basically neck pup volume, bridge pickup volume, 3-way toggle switch; and master tone. I've decided to conclude the refinishing stage of this restoration here, and allow the Tru-Oil to cure for at least a month before proceeding.
