Hey Tim, welcome to guitartricks man, good to have you here.
I really like your custom guitars, its so cool what you can do with them.

I disassembled my guitar yesterday because I don’t like the color of it and I want to paint it and change the pickups.
So, my question is what is the best way to remove the old paint, and what type of paint should I buy to custom paint my guitar?
Any other information or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Regarding the Line 6 Spider II amp…I take it with me when I go to teach guitar and for recording at home. It works for me, because it has the basic FX and EQ. But if you are into gigging or playing in large rooms, this is not the amp for you. IMO

Again, welcome to GT bro.
