How To Solder Your Guitar

Ok, so now that I have two Fenders and one cheap Chinese Tele, I think it’s time to take the Chinese Tele apart and put it back together. And maybe even try some soldering, too. What do you think? This video makes it look fairly straightforward.

My New Craigslist 2001 MIM Standard Stratocaster

Picked this up two weeks ago off Craigslist for $200. The seller bought it new at Guitar Center in 2001, drilled two small holes in the pickguard and one in the body for a midi, then never played it. It’s in great shape and I love the neck (doesn’t seem as glossy as the newer ones). I had been debating new MIM vs new American Standard but this was too good of a deal to pass up. My first Strat.
