In 1997, a 13yo me got his first electric guitar, a dark blue HSS Squier Stratocaster. More than a quarter of a decade later, I decided I'd give it a new life. I replaced the whole electronics as well as the pickguard and the knobs. It has now got lace sensors, RF shielding and sounds just beautiful. I love that I gave this thing a second chance, not only for the sentimental value it holds, but also because these 97 Squiers are really not bad at all. #guitar #diymusicalinstrument #guitars
