I need help refinishing my first guitar.

My first build is a hard tail ash strat clone with a honey burst finish. I made more mistakes than I would like to admit and I'm trying to correct some of them. While installing a tremolo I noticed how bad the finish is. I'd like to refinish it but I'm not sure how to do it. The original finish as b...
