This Burswood Strat is another example of Triage Guitar Shop of West Palm Beach Florida saving an abused or abandoned classic from extinction.

This 2000s body was purchased without noticing an SD recording feature. I wired it up and trouble shot it, but it remained a non-functional novelty. So out it came.

The following is a list of actions taken to restore this stylish strat and give it a new and stylish life.

Took out recording electronics, battery box and removed pickguard. Plugged and patched spaces created by removal. Sanded, puttied and painted affected areas.

Located tremolo and organized claw, springs and mounting hardware. Found a trem handle that fit.

Located and procured older, but compatible Burswood maple neck. Kind of rare.

Mounted neck with new Fender screws and standard strat neckplate.

Checked neck for straightness, etc. and leveled and polished frets with 0000.

Hand painted antiqued US flag motif in gray tones on front of body and pickguard.

Cleaned noisy controls and revisited wiring and solder integrity.

Installed all tremolo hardware

Mounted pickguard and verified grounding and pickup operation.

Installed new D'Addario Super Light (.09-.042) strings andvset action.

Tested for dead or buzzing notes and resolved any issues.

Lots of work on a $100 guitar. So my loss is your gain. Great starter guitar. Don't miss out.
