It was missing strings, the whammy bar needed repairs, it had no strap, I didn't like the colour.
I took apart the guitar and spray painted the body, put it back together and replaced all of the strings, put on a strap and put a toy smurf on the end of the whammy bar
I had this old guitar lying around and wanted to use it, and learn to play electric guitar, and improve how it looked - make it more personal
You can bring life back to forgotten items, give things your own personal flair, and most importantly save money (no need to support the big corps!)
