big rob Posted November 8, 2010 Share Posted November 8, 2010 I have just purchased a Black Warwick Dolphin pro 1 and i love it, (was for sale on this site). Its 20 years old and as you would expect has a few light scratches and some not so light ones. My question is how much would it cost to get a guitar tech to polish as much out as possible? and the second question is could i do it myself if its costs the earth for a guitar tech to do? Would be grateful for some advice as i don't want to be ripped off by a guitar tech. Also does anyone know the controls on the early dolpin pro 1 (one with bartolini pickups). Cheers all Big Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

warwickhunt Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Controls are fairly straight forward Vol/Pan and Bass/Treble. The nearest pot to the strings pulls for passive and the bottom pot pulls to cut one of the coils in the humbucker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
big rob Posted November 9, 2010 Author Share Posted November 9, 2010 Thanks for the advice all, has anyone had any scratch removal done by a guitar tech or have any idea how much they may charge? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
