So started doing the lessons and realized that my little strat needed some work. I can’t play yet, but I do know how to work on it. Been planning on removing the pick guard so as not to mess up the signatures and the pick ups ps were REALLY loose. So…in the process of making a temp pick guard, improvised the “springs” to stabilize the pickups and am thinking about lining the body with the aluminum or copper tape. Damn! I need to go to guitar center!
