[QUOTE="Old Man Jingles, post: 4119626, member: 18222"] That's what I've been doing the last two days. I cleaned up all the guitar hardware parts and performed several corrections: I clean out all the pots and switches with contact cleaner with silicone. Adjusted the neck and filed down the nut slots and coated it with HB graphite to get better action and tuning. Filed, leveled and redressed the frets and then polished them along with the fretboard. Adjusted the tremolo bridge and after restringing with Ernie Ball Slinky adjusted the intonation to where it was dead on at open and 12th fret. Tried to refinish and oil the tuners but they are junk ... two of them will not stay in tune after 5 minutes of playing. The bridge pickup is shot and nothing I could do to correct ... I did raise the pickups and it seemed to double the output signal. I have parts on order to replace all of the hardware and electronics [/QUOTE]
