I cleaned all of the electronic components, fitted a matched set of Fender N3 Noiseless pickups and gave the frets a light dressing. I fitted a replacement fender USA tremello arm and then set up the guitar for 10 to 46 gauge strings.

The guitar just feels right and just makes you want to pick it up and play. The guitar has the original TBX tone control system and this works well with the new N3 Noiseless pickups. Apart from natural ageing, the guitar is in excellent condition for its 25 years, with virtually no fret wear and only a few very minor and superficial marks to the body.
