Nice job! It's crazy to see how repairing or refinishing a guitar can be as much, or more work, than actually making a new guitar! I like to work on guitars that are already made and bring them back to playing status. That said, I like a guitar with some battle damage so it looks like hell but it plays like a dream. I'm still working on that Ibanez Roadstar but it is basically going to be replacing all the electronics and pickups because the guitar was stored in a garage in Phoenix, Arizona for years. Basically just like doing the same in Alice Springs where you are amigo!😳🏜️ The fret sprout is so bad even the tangs are poking out! That said, I am taking the issues so it is getting back to being playable. It is too far gone to be a "Closet Classic" but again, the dings and gouges make it look better in a distressed way. The pickups are only kinda working, the neck pickup has lost wax to the point that the potting wax held the pickup to the body and the whole pickup shifted in its cover! I'll keep you in the loop.😉👍✨
