However it is probably more brittle than the other finishes and can dissolve with alcohol.... but might be the easiest to fix if it does get enough alcohol on it that disturbs the finish.

I bought some Minwax Satin Poly in a can, and a foam brush, hoping it will work. I got some fine grit sandpaper, too. Now to get started...
The neck is still attached to the body, with all the strings. Can I remove them without the neck warping? How can I get rid of the old finish, a razor, or sandpaper? Does prepping need to be done to anything? Can I do the fretboard with the same stuff? Blah, blah, blah. Blah, blah, blah. Ideas people! Thanks! :P
