That is TRUE recyclying! You threw out the pick guard and the knobs and that is it. (For good reason.) Now that guitar is ready for another 50+ years of enjoyment. Nice job on the screws and all the metal parts. Amazing work!

I agree, it gave it so much character. The guitar was actually pretty cool all burnt up, with a matching melted neck. You can still see the fender logo fine I think it would've been cool to keep it all burnt up but obviously that's going to hurt the resale...I'm sure his intention was to sell it after restoring it. Just looks very basic after the restore. But on the bright side there's virtually no trace it was ever burned up. Personally, I would've kept it in its burned state. It tells a story and gives the guitar alot of character...

On the end of the guitar where you put in dowels where the strap buttons had broken off, if you have that situation again, I would suggest putting the body in a vise and routing a groove and then install a piece of matching wood. Great work overall!

In 1921, Myra Brooks Welch wrote a poem called “The Touch of the Master’s Hand”. The poem tells the story of an old and battered violin that was to be auctioned but the highest bid the auctioneer could get for the instrument was a mere $3. That is, until a master violinist stepped forward and played the violin. It sounded so beautiful in his hands that it eventually sold in the auction for $3,000. You are the master today. You salvaged a rare, 60th anniversary Stratocaster that had been abused, neglected, and set on fire. You turned a tragedy into a treasure. Congratulations!

0:35 Note the trem block. 3 springs. Adjusted to dive bomb. Tuners. Pickups. Not touched. And: Input jack. PRISTINE. Again: PRISTINE (not even a scratch or gouge on an old "played" instrument) This is a real one off of an absolute horrendous hack/relic with 1,000% shock value but still plug 'n' play. Obviously a rich kid who anonymously let it go and moved on, perhaps gaining some maturity in the process. The attacks on the plastic etc can't be interpreted as to why or wheretofore. As well as the finish melting which renders close to ruining the vaunted ash. Again mere aesthetic but very very VERY angry. I've watched this channel for a few years and fully disagree with ALL of your comments suggesting that he's salting the fields for a few bucks and/or drama. Why? His passion is real. His results are to be expected. Not perfect (ever) on the collectables but OVER THE TOP on the lawsuit copies where he has more "room". Cheers! ------------ 53 yrs experience here, but just my humble opinion. ------------ Edit: 5:09 I'm replying to your comments as I go. I did not see this as I made first reply. Note how the original owner(s) floated the position of the bottom strap point for some form of "hang" posit. Phenomenal, irrefutable evidence of individual "customization". And very personal! Let's proceed...

You did a decent job of refinishing the body. The only thing you need to work on is your clear coat. You didn't sand it down enough to get past the orange peel. That is why it doesn't have a mirror finish even after buffing. I would have also refinished the neck if not just replaced it and transferred the cereal number and the diamond plaque to the new one.
