These 3 items represent that entirety of a $100 USD gift card lmao. Okay, to be fair I also paid the $20 shipping with the gift card, but still. Guitar repair is not a cheap activity.

I decided in the end to get a single 2ft length of fretwire instead of 4ft, because my plan is to just do the problem areas rather than a full refret (for reference, 4ft is just enough to do an entire guitar), and that allowed me to get the set of 6 grits of this 3M flexible polishing cloth, rather than just the couple single sheets I could squeeze into the budget.

Worst case, fretwire itself is pretty inexpensive, so if I need more I can just make a trip down to Solo Music and spend <$20 for another 2ft length. Anyway, I should moat definitely forget all about this and get to work on something somebody will pay me for lol

This Höfner Sienna's pickup still works, but as you might see, the surface is sticky and breaks here and there.
Höfner and Thomann can't get spare parts.
With super glue I tried to fix the broken parts, but the stickiness on the plastic surface is another issue.

I thought, maybe it would be possible to print this part, but I could imagine the modelling could be time consuming.

Our theater has an old BC Rich guitar in their display archives donated from a local music school. It's been abused by students for who knows how long.
I was going to put it back to playable condition, so I cleaned it up and put on new strings, set action, intonation, etc. Very minor bump on headstock revealed a barely repaired cracked neck.
No wanting to give up on a project, I pulled it all apart and, well, the head came completely off the neck. 😬
That awesome 90s Korean quality. I'll try to see if I can take off fingerboard without damage and glue neck back together.
Fun times.

Much annoyed that this wire came adrift from this pre-wired harness. The whole point of spending a little extra to get a pre-wired harness is because I suck at soldering.

Ok! "Patches" the barley recovered EA-250 with retrofitted neck and P-90s is nearing completion. Just final setup work to go! This was a loooong time coming and what a learning experience it was! "Patches" has some cosmetic flaws (other than the obvious patches) because, well, I messed up. But "Patches" sounds very nice to me indeed. It's defiantly got that hollow body, P90 vib going! Even with the action still a bit high, it . is . fun!
