                  I always wanted to make a replica of that Kramer Ripley Eddie is holding in a photograph. It has a cool swirl paintjob. I'm hesitant to dunk a nice guitar body in water though. I don't care if it has sealer or wax in the holes. Water always finds a way through and it deffinately could cause problems with the wood.

                      Why not just get a cheapy guitar from a 2nd Hand Shop first to experiment on?

                                  I've always wet sanded guitar bodies, and as long as you keep the water to a minimum when it has the chance to touch the raw wood, you're ok...

                                  I'd dunk a body in water as long as I was prepared for the precautions first...

                                  I'm sure you could figure the process out. A litthe putty here, tape there...no harm done!

                                  But let it dry a couple weeks before trying to sand or polish...
