Hi everyone!
This is a spin-off of a previous thread I started. Well, I already rescued the guitar from the pawnshop! So my next step is to refurbish it. Problem is, I don't know how to. I am not even a fan of floyd rose tremolos but maybe it is time to deal with it because I like this guitar. However, I need to let you all know that I am on a tight budget. I'm living paycheck to paycheck and barely have extras after all the bills are paid.
May I ask help from you o' guitar masters?
What should I do first and next? I was thinking of replacing all the screws because they are all corroded or rusted.
How do I clean the floyd rose parts?
etc... etc... etc...
Thank you!
Thank you dogbite for your tip!
I will be keeping by humbuckers and floyd rose for the time being coz they still work anyway.
Update:
I took off all the metals like screws, bolts, etc. I kept them in cider vinegar because I read they are good in removing rust and corrosion. It worked great! Except that, it also took off black paint from some parts. So, I guess I will have a floyd rose system with a mixture of black and metallic colors! Do I need the paint them again? If yes, how?
