just got a 2030 from sam ash for 299. some jackass covered it with 4 layers of latex paint. any suggestions/info on how to refinish this? and does anyone have any info on the model? i've sanded it down and stripped all the paint off, now what?

Wayne, if the wood looks nice bare, you could try a tung oil finish like some of the current models use. There are some threads discussing that type of finish:

I'm sure spending a few hundred dollars having someone like our forumite Paul Wilczynski, who is a guitar restoration expert professionally refinish it for you would be worth it.
