How much to get a body refinished?

[Stevepage]

I'm thinking of getting my Strats body refinished. All I want done is to have the wood dyed a certain colour, It's a natural finish 68 reissue Strat so I guess it wouldn't be too labour intensive to sand it down, dye it, then clear coat it.

How much would a luthier charge for something like this? I would do it myself, but I don't trust myself to get the clear coat right

Couple hundred maybe?

it will cost extra because of stripping it down, but depending on the condition of the body and the type of finish on there he may be able to do a trans finish over the current one rather than have to strip it all back to bare wood

£180 plus stripping - budget for £220-230
