That's what I'm calling it, but I'm not going to elaborate on why. Here's basically a full photo "diary" of the project and the various steps along the way.
Almost 4 years ago I bought one of these. It was reduced in price as it was a customer return, it had a "problem" with the jack not connecting. A quick push with my thumb and it was fixed.
I removed the single coils and the tone controls then wrapped the body and pickguard in "Fragile" packing tape.
Then other guitars got in the way. I removed the strings and it's been sitting on top of a box of stuff for probably the last two years.
Then on Thursday at around 1:15 am or so, I figured I was going to make some changes. At around 7 am, I had taken it apart.
Then it was time for the hard part. Removing the tape as well as I could from the body. Scrubbed over the body to remove the stickiness and was left with the following.
Then there was the question of what the hell to do with this stupid pickguard.
But in the meantime, there was the impetus of the project to consider - P90.
The install of which was simple enough, which then, of course, informed the answer to the question of what to do with the pickguard.
Now I wait until some new parts arrive - volume pot and output jack, which had rusted somehow. I think maybe a slug had got in there.
Anyway, you get the idea. Or not.
