Which I don't think would be an issue if you have a backround in woodworking already. Sanding shouldn't be a problem. If the exposed wood doesn't look appealing i.e worm holes or dark spots, just re-paint it.

Nut, just go in and tell them what guitar you have and what type of nut you want and they should give you the right one.

You can easily find replacement knobs for volume, tones and switch on a strat.

I say, go for it!]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance Mike https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/project-guitar/#post-100003 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/project-guitar/#post-99995 Thu, 28 Apr 2005 04:41:09 +0000 Guitar Repair and Maintenance stsneon https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/project-guitar/#post-99995 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/project-guitar/#post-95471 Sat, 26 Mar 2005 21:01:24 +0000
im actually not certain about moving the pickups, the more i ask people the more i change my mind. but i guess ill wait until i have the scratchplate off and have a look around and decide how much work would be required]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance mordeth https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/project-guitar/#post-95471 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/project-guitar/#post-95457 Sat, 26 Mar 2005 18:43:37 +0000
Moving them together is going to create some real problems, how are you going to do it ? with a cheap shite guitar like mine, the pickups are on the finger board, but i imagine a mexican strat has routed holes, etc.. I dont know its your choice.. but i'm just not sure whether its worth it in the end.]]> Guitar Repair and Maintenance stevedabear https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/project-guitar/#post-95457 https://guitarnoise.forum/guitar-repair-and-maintenance/project-guitar/#post-95432 Sat, 26 Mar 2005 15:31:58 +0000 i will however invest in a new pickguard, but only if i mess up cutting the one i have.

steveo, cheers for the site, exactly what i was looking for :)

hoping to make a start on this on tuesday of next week depending on how long it takes me to read all this stuff and gather tools. hopefully ill post some pics and soundbites and soon as i get finished up.
thanks for the replies.
