Guitar Rescue - 13 minutes of cleaning, no talking - Restoration

I not only build guitars but I also collect them. I love Strats and Teles. One of my favorite things to do is rescue broken or abused guitars. Once you take a guitar apart, fix it and put it back together it becomes truly yours and a connection is made. Recently, I have been casually scrolling through the Seattle Goodwill eBay store. Goodwill is like a thrift store here in the States. Seattle has quite a few musicians and many instruments make it to the Goodwill. The store always has nice old instruments, a lot of off-brand stuff, and occasionally an inexpensive rare gem. When I saw this on eBay, I knew no one would want it. I knew it could be brought back to life. I was even prepared to unglue the fretboard and replace the truss rod if it was seized up. Thankfully it wasn’t.
