Yeah. I know what you’re thinking. It’s dirty, it’s kinda old, oh wait, it’s really old. If I’m not mistaken, it’s around 10+ years. I wan’t to restore the looks, the feel, and the ease of playing with it. It’s rusty, the fret board is bent, the pick guard and tone knob is not white anymore, the 5-way switch is kinda loose and the fret board is dirty due to the years of playing. I’ve used this guitar for the very first time when I played the lead guitar on God is Able by Hillsong, and used my cousin’s acoustic guitar to practice the song all the way through.

Note: I don’t know what measuring tool I am using on the 2nd and 3rd picture. Just a reference for the string height measurement.

Portable tools in a Nescafe So yeah, I bought some tools from Ace Hardware at a reasonable price. Creston Screw Driver Set, Creston Wrench 6 and Stanley Allen Wrench Set, which costs me around Php 800.00. That Blue Magic box, is, well, for, you know, I took this photo last February, and you know what that means. Blue pick from Planet Waves, Planet Waves string winder, and a Nescafe “tool” box. The Planet Waves is a set I bought from JB Music last December 2016, which includes a Guitar Strap, 10 Medium Celluloid Picks, Guitar Cord, EXL110 Gauge 10, and a String Winder, which is used for cutting strings, removing bridge pins and…. Winding strings to save time.
Stratocaster bridge and saddle with tremoloRight now, March 9, 2018, I’ve bought a saddle, bridge and a tremolo, with springs, for Php 400.00 from a person in a Facebook group, good thing we’re near each other’s workplace so we can save time from going to long trips. All I need now is a brand new S-S-S pick guard, 2 tone knobs, 1 volume knob, 5-way switch(optional) and some screws for the pick guard, which is very hard to find. S stands for Single Coil, here’s a picture of it. There are other types of pick guard, like S-S-H, H-H, and many more.
