I opened up the back of the guitar last night and the wiring looks like it was soldered with a blowtorch. pots look original... wiring for pickup does not. looks like a teenager trying to make a thrash metal guitar out of it. found out why the bridge pickup was so low. any higher and the feedback is earsplitting. one spring is blown/broken. Starting to see why it was 100 bucks. but it is a good project and that is partially what I was looking for.
