Great craftsmanship! Given the problems in removing the neck what do you think had happened to make the action so high, would it have been some movement in the body structure?

Interesting old guitar. I don’t know how well known they were in the USA but I’ve never seen a Vega guitar here in the UK. You did a great job renewing the wiring on the bridge pickup, did you also renew the wiring on the neck one? It looked like a precision job and your dental tool came in very handy, I was on edge watching you manipulate those thin wires. The finished guitar had a very distinctive sound, a bit of a change from the usual LP style instrument.

Yes both pickups were done in the same manner. All the pots, wires and caps as well as the switch. Thanks for watching!

I was going to recommend a psychiatrist to attempt this but you already knew that. More than impressive and thank you for letting us tag along. I ran into this and it piqued my interest in how you were going to rebuild the corner especially. More than nicely done with good decisions on a nice guitar and make it a player again that restores it to what it started out while retaining its vintage. Thanks again, Fred

I see what you did but I'm still not sure why. Signature Guitar parts are worth more in original condition, and strat bodies to paint are a dime a dozen. As far as "Beck" strats, just sell the green one and get that nice off-white one they have now. (No not the old banana yellow one)
@dougmaccormack9485 21 күн бұрын
The body was originally banana yellow. The poly finish was peeling off in big chunks and had taken a few hits as well. Not a desirable wear and tear look. It was purchased just as a parted out body and paired with a Fender neck, tuners and bridge as well as other high end parts other (partscaster)
