Re: Refinishing a nice mandolin
I would do the speed neck, and replace the hardware you don't like, but leave the finish alone.
If you ever want to sell it, you can put the original hardware back on, or offer to include it in the sale.
The finish on that model is not flashy.
It is just a nice classic sunburst.
Then again, it is just an instrument, not a museum piece.
Maybe you should just do what you like to it, and get back to playing it.
