Remove the back of the guitar body and neck once all the screws are removed. Now you'll have access to all of the electronics inside. All of the electronics seem pretty simple and durable, so you won't have to worry too much about breaking anything, but be careful anyway.

The five color keys are at the top of the neck and just held in by two screws, remove them.

The main board is attached by four screws, and the (Start) and (Select) button panel has two screws. Under the main board you'll find two black spacer pieces that hold the strum thing in place. Just slide these out.

The whammy assembly just slides out, but pay attention to how its put together in case you want to take it apart or it falls to pieces.

Once everything's unscrewed carefully remove the electronics and set them aside for later.
