I bought this cheap. It had broken tuners, neck nut, bridge and jack insert.

I replaced all the parts myself and paid someone to do a set up

I wanted a strat style guitar that was rare. This is a Korean made guitar that is 40 years old. It has battle scars but im surebit has stories to tell.

Many things have a lot of life left in them and many (like my guitar) might have an untold history. Besides that restoration is a satisfying process.
