- had to take some of the neck material from under the roller nut because it was slanted upward a lot on the thick strings side and gave a huge action;
- two fretwires were sticking out so I rehammered them, and also removed that grindy feeling on all and polished them;
- had to buy a new left handed trem arm, because the original was missing and the one it had was non original and didn't fit at all(it wobbled greatly);
- one of the saddle adjustment screws was literally replaced with a crap wood screw (pff!), and had to buy that as well (the ones that I had didn't fit the US screw slot in the saddles);
- had to sand down the pickguard a bit on the neck heel side because it couldn't be taken out without either taking off the neck...or the neck pickup ;
- rewired the whole guitar, with new CTS pots and also cleaned the Japanese vintage switch thoroughly (opened it, sanded/polished the copper contacts in it) -> it was a HUGE mess before;
Turned out to be a GREAT guitar once again after all the procedures!
