The guitar came today! Teardown was fun and interesting. There was chisle work done inside for the bridge pickup it had. I will use the router to clean that up a bit and I will glue a new piece of wood in there where the one pickguard screw went. Should be an easy enough repair and I am going to strip it and paint it anyways. I could try gluing wood back in the lower area, but there isn't really a reason to.
One question though, where the bridge screws down the screws go all the way through the back of the cavity where the springs go. Is that normal or are the screws too long?

Neck dates May 1998. There was a bunch of sandpaper layered under the neck and in the pocket. Took that out. I will see how it goes without it.

Spring area. (See the screw holes? Normal?)

That white paint is over the CAR finish. Heat should strip it off. 😀
