So last Mon eve after shopping around the guitar shops (and seeing an identical model for £170 brand new) I decided that there was probably no worth in spending time and money customising this guitar as it would still be nowhere near as nice as my Baja tele to play (there is a reason why the Fender Baja is three times the price after all!) therefore it would prob be best to restore it to it's original specs (or near at least) and sell it on, what my old marketing boss would call 'an easy win'.
With this in mind I mentioned it on my Facebook status and got some interest almost instantaneously! After a few messages I set a price (a seriously low one but the buyer is a friend, there's no hassle in ebay/paypal or postage fees etc and there was some serious bumps and cracks to the paintwork that I couldn't (and wouldn't be doing so anyway) fix - besides it adds to that cool beat up look!
With this in mind I finished up cleaning the guitar:

| Jack |
 |
| Tone |
 |
| Finished bridge including new saddle on the right |
 |
| Nut (after filing down) |
And here's the finished product:
