I recently acquired an RG1302 from buddroyce. Great guitar, but the player condition finish on the body was bugging me. Being a nice ash body (rare enough on an Ibanez), I want to fix it up rather than replacing the body.
(Before I proceed, now is not the time to tell me that a J Custom should not be refinished - I already have most of it back to bare wood!)
So I'm confident enough in stripping back the finish. It's not much fun, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Now I'm looking for someone to do a professional quality refinish on this thing. I'm thinking I'd like to either return it to the same state it left the factory (transparent blue) or possibly just do a heavy clear over natural finish.

Can anyone recommend someone that does professional-grade refinishing? I'd really rather pay to have it done rather than risk screwing it up.
Cheers
PS - Yes, yes, I know EKG and LGM have those great banners at the top of the page, but quite frankly they are too busy to return emails, much less take on a little job like this. No disrespect intended.
