Prepping the body to strip the original paint by removing the strings, neck and de-soldering all components.

Removing the original paint resulted in discovering a beautiful grain structure.

Refurbished Stratocaster Guitar

This Squire Stratocaster Guitar was a gift for my boyfriend, Max. When I purchased it, it was glossy black with a Vermont River Conservancy sticker and yellowing dials. I stripped it down into components, replaced all of the dials and electronics, repainted the base, designed and laser cut a Pulp Fiction themed pick guard and tremolo plate.

We call her, Uma.
