Ok, heres an update on rebuilding my gax70. So far its completely disassembled and mostly sanded. I'm going to paint it black with a diagonal white stripe, get some new pickups with gold covers, get all gold plates, gold knobs, tuners, bridge, tailpiece, all the stuff I can. what site would you recommend buying these parts on, (on a fairly tight budget) and its ok if this guitar is low quality. In december I am going to get a kit build either lp or strat, and really make it nice. So consider this a practice, although I still am going to want to play it.
Actually on second thought, Ill just repaint it, and replace the broken part only, keeping the pickups. If the paint looks good Ill go all out on a kit when I can.
