Just bought this 1992 D4 to be my road guitar instead of my '72 G37. It is in decent shape structurally, but has a couple of spots on the top where the nitro is gone, I assume wiped off with thinner rather than sanded, because the edges are rather stark rather than feathered like sanded might be. The two on the lower bout are fairly obvious, but there is also one on the left of the soundhole that is less obvious.
I'm looking for advice on refinishing this top (or if I should do anything but touch it up). Should I wipe the nitro off with thinner or sand it off? Should I try to refinish with nitro or would some sort of polyurethane or stain do as well?
See the attached photo.
Thanks in advance.
