Guitar Refurbishment

A guide on how to improve or fix any old guitar .

Step 1: The Begining

When I bought the guitar it was in a state of misery; the body and neck of the guitar painted in metallic purple sparkling car paint and the custom pick guard lavished in black household enamel. The wiring was a complete mess as well; with none of the ground wires soldered down properly and the bridge pickup being held in by electrical tape I wasnt sure if it was worth it.

Having said that after a bit of persuasion (4 hours and ten sheets of sand paper) it was looking a lot better also by mistake, I caught some electrical tape on the pick guard and discovered its true identity.

Your images of your other guitars are right- handed. The image in step 6 is reversed. Unless you are left-handed.

the closest thing to this straight from a factory would be a telecaster thinline. i looked into it, just in case you wanted one, and found that they seem to start at around 300 bucks (for the budget squier model) and about 900 for the fender model. and it only goes up from there.

if u want to get even closer to the orgin of the guiat you should check out the 69 and 72 Fender Telecaster thinlines
