Stripped!!!!

Sorry for the lack of updates!!! have been having a traumatic week so far!! Car died and had to take nearly an hour long bus ride to get a courtesy car... not fun... my advice... don't go to carcraft and pay over the odds just cause you get a two years warranty.... not wort the hassle!!!

I realised that I haven't added the pics like i should have done... thinking i may just wack a load in the final post if it'll let me... got BIG errors for trying more than one pic... and to think i spent 2 years in my previous jod as an IT geek... soon got drummed out of me!!

anyhow....

Finally managed to strip and sand off all the crap... was quite upset not to find some kind of decent wood underneath... feels really heavy like mahogany but seems to be some kind of mdf style mash up of woods.... there goes my theory of it being a previously decent guitar!!!

Had to get the wood filler involved in a couple o cracks and some slight splintery bits around the headstock... just need to sand it all down before spraying.... still haven't decided what to do with it yet... I have the basic plan but wanna do something to make it stand out a bit.... hmm...

Ordered all my bits.... spent approximately £65 so far on a full set of hardware and wiring kit... leaves me with £35.... what to do what to do...

I may have a cunning plan!!! muahahahahahahaha... or not... you'll never know!!!

Just need to learn how to wire up cheapy single wire pickups!!!
