wax removal

[David Ilvedson]

Although it does sound delicious, I'd probably opt for a single edge razor and careful removal as the first course.   See how it sounds?   Does the customer want it perfect?   I'd order new bass strings...both per unison as needed.

PS....Ric, don't you think it might be prone to rusting down the road?
