how do u remove the gloss on a guitar body and give it the satin look?

You can rub over the surface with 0000 steel wool. This is so fine that you should avoid individual scratch marks. This worked a treat on an acoustic that I wanted to de-gloss, and I've heard others do it on solid bodies too.

Obviously there is a chance - as with any attempt to change the finish - that it will look wrong afterwards, so best to test it on a little-seen area if possible, and probably best not to do it on an expensive guitar unless re-sale value will never matter.

use a 3m scouring pad from homefix. its yellow/grey. much gentler and less messy.

0000 steel wool... I don´t really trust anyhing else

alright , I juz did it on my homemade strat which I doubt would have any resell value. Thanks a million.

post some pics!!

Yeah!

its a white strat... the difference in colour is hardly noticeable
