My other Casino in Cherry that I have now, I don’t want to remove the cherry stain at all, I want to wet sand to dull the poly finish, I don’t like the sticky tacky feel on the neck either not do I like the shiny finish. I’ve sanded a cherry one down to a natural in the past, one I wish I’d never got rid of to be honest and the slight over sanding made it unique, wish I could track it down to be honest. The one I’ve sanded had an imperfection On the finish so it’s no issue for me and any over sanding I can live with to be honest, I call it character. I have previous with casino’s and sanding, been there and it takes time to get it right. The only thing you can do when that happens is to paint it with a solid color. The spots you sanded through will suddenly show up as dark splotches. But if you keep sanding, you’ll almost certainly sand through in spots (especially on curved areas on arch tops) and not even notice it until you apply the stain. If ANY poly remains it will not take stain, and you’ll get a splotchy look. Trust me, I learned the hard way that it’s nearly impossible to sand off the finish to the point where the guitar can be stained without going through the Maple layer in spots because the clear poly actually has soaked into the Maple layer, essentially making the stainable layer paper thin.
