OK, I adopted an Eclipse that was partially disassembled and needs some attention. The body and neck are dirty, but in very good condition; will clean up nice. But the pups were loose, busted bridge pup plastic ring, no pick guard and a 1/4" plug broke off in the jack. Also the tailpiece has a name etched in the base plate.

Options:

-Try to locate parts and rehab
-Sell as project
-Break it down for back up spare parts
-Sell parts to recoup part of the purchase price

What would you do?

Fix it - sounds like easily repairable items.

Fix it and change your name to match the tailpiece.

It depends... what's the name in the tailpiece?

The Eclipse is heading out to the left coast for some TLC.

Reports anticipated...
