TAKE APART OLD PARTS
Unscrew every part and take out bad electronics. Prepare wooden body and neck/fretboard for work.
BODY WORK
Spray body to your desired need of design. That which suits you. i just used the colour i had laying around.
NECK/FRET WORK
This is based on individual desire. How you want your fretboard to look like.
ASSEMBLY OF ALL BODY PARTS.
Assemble all body parts together to begin assembling of pickups,electonics, etc.
ASSEMBLY OF ELECTRONICS AND PICKUPS
Wire all pickups and other electronics to desired.
i used the above/below schematic.
FIXING THE STRINGS.
Finally a very tasky part. Be careful when fixing string so as not to break any string especially the 1st E string cause its the thinnest.
