Description: I gigged with this guitar for years, and made some weird modifications, without really knowing what I was doing. I decided to get it looking and playing half decent. In this video, I'm just showing the guitar in its current state, and thinking aloud about some of the modifications I'll make. The neck will have to be sanded and refinished, and have new marker dots installed. The frets will have to be pulled and the guitar will need to be re-fretted and have the new frets levelled and crowned and polished. Significant work will need to be done on the body. The electrics will be re-done, some minor upgrades will need to be done on the bridge...plus a bunch of stuff I haven't decided on, yet. - Mellowb1rd
