- also had to sand down and refinish a fretwire (last one), because there was a nasty indentation in it that was very noticeable while playing; (it looked like a thin string was pressed against it very hard, making a knife like narrow groove)
- I cleaned the pots prior to redoing the wiring

Fender Jimmy Dale acoustic guitar
* Restrung and solved some stuff on a Fender Jimmy Dale acoustic guitar:
- the input jack fell in the body and there was no way to reinsert it back by hand as the body is very slim and you can't reach the hole; I had to be creative and take it out using a jack and some wire and add light in the guitar body hah! but I solved it;
- the owner wanted to add a locking strap pin, and I did that too, right next to the old one (that is on the input jack);
- restrung the guitar (no setup was needed, as he didn't request it, but the guitar was OK nevertheless as it was previously setup at some point, and I used the same gauge)
