oh! I also found out that the guitar tech guy at shire music also refinishes guitars as a bit of a hobby! Apparently, he'd love to hear that I know a guy in the paint industry, so refinishing my tele is seeming more possible!

so ... Arctic White or Olympic White?

EDIT: this was the goldtop les paul that I saw ... Classic Double Cutaway. It had a really thin body and was super light! And leftie! But the one I saw had the soap bar white P90's.
