I've had this in the loft for ten years, thought it was about time I did something with it :)

It had been resprayed black when I got it, I sanded it down at the time and looked like it had originally been brown. I pulled the frets out with a pair of pincers and that's as far as I got.

The tone isn't great, so I'm not putting a massive amount of time and effort in to it.... filled the fretholes in with wood filler and sanded them flat, then sprayed the body with Vauxhall car paint. There's a few run marks but it's acceptable to my eyes. Have strung it up to check the neck is actually straight before I do any more. I've layed the bits on the top to see how it looks. There's a spring missing on the bridge pup and the neck one has had the cable cut quite short. The original wiring loom is quite knackered so I'll start from scratch there.

Some pics:
