It has various cosmetic problems and needs re-wiring, I havent got a clue what i'm doing - I last picked up a soldering iron in CDT at school ( and that was too long ago to remember). Should I give up before I've even started? Yours Truthfully, Timothio

If you want, post a Thread in the "Tech Talk" forum, and I can provide Wiring Schematics for your guitar. We'll get you up and running in no time! Welcome to the site, enjoy. -Mick.
