Hi everyone!
I saw an uncared Peavey TR7 in a pawnshop. They would give it to me for $50. Problem is, the sound is crackling and some of the fine tuners and screws are corroded. Would this be something good for a project?
I have no experience in fixing guitars but I know a bit about electronics and soldering. I was never a fan of floyd rose but I am attracted to this guitar. It seem like it was calling out for me to help.
Your advice will be deeply appreciated.
I'd say I was worth it as a project. If nothing else it would give you a whole load of new knowledge without risking an expensive piece of kit.

Thank you for your advice! I will try to save that guitar then!
Will I be able to test the pickups at the store? Like by plugging in a cable and use a tester? If yes, what readings should I get? If the pickups are busted, is is still worth it?
Since your confirmations gave me the conviction to rescue it, how do I clean the corroded parts? Somebody told me apple cider vinegar will do the trick? How do I make the rust surfaces of pick-up posts shine again?
Thanks!
