"The guitar is in perfect condition except for the input jack that I took it upon myself to fix via gluing a Nintendo controller to the jack. It works fine. I don't know why I did it, it was a long time ago." This made me ill, so I thought I would share my annoyance! :p | ||

Joined: January 2006 Posts: 5881 Location: Colorado Rocky Mountains | This ended up being a darned good project guitar in which a number of us actually took some small part during the PNW Fan Gathering. I mostly (1) looked over Mr. Big's shoulder as he reconstructed and soldered all the electronics, (2) picked things up off the floor on his behalf, and (3) listened to him grouse about not having needle nose pliers. This was a great demonstration and the guitar is now in two or three times better shape. Many of us would be proud to call it our own. | ||

Joined: March 2005 Posts: 12759 Location: Boise, Idaho | A couple hours' work and a plethora of cuss words by Al the Solder Guy. I got to scrape with a razor blade and never cut anyone, so it was a very successful restoration. Still needs an original bridge pickup, I think, but he might have to send it back to Al for soldering. | ||
