Behold, the mighty Fender Stratocaster. Truly a
celebrity among guitars. Almost seems a shame, what I'm about to
do. |
 |
You see, I had a little accident. I dropped my
recently bought Strat on the concrete. I know, I know. I
should be hanged for such treachery. In an attempt to cover up my
mistake, I have decided to repair the guitar. Of course, this requires
repainting the guitar. And, following through with the idea, first
disassembling the guitar. |
 |
It seemed an easy enough idea at first. Just undo a
few screws to take the guts out, then I can get busy painting...
right? Well, up until I realized there were electronics routed
through the wood. |
 |
Fortunately, I had a soldering iron handy. Thank
goodness I took those electronics courses 10 years ago. Not that I
really remember much from the classes though. |
 |
So here we have the Strat, stripped to the bone (with the
exception of a couple little metal pieces that were firmly affixed to
the wood). Let's hope I remember how to put it back together when
all this is over. |
