With a little bit of elbow grease i got the little ****er off
Now should i wait to disconnect the pups from the switch and the pots?
The frets need to be refinished because there are actual indentations from the strings in some of them. The neck is pretty beat up on the back. The fingerboard is definitely a little dirty and could use some TLC. Not sure how to polish the Cosmo Pups rings and the Trem. Maybe just buy new one and sell the old to purchase new? I think also my barrel input isnt even the one for the ibanez but for like a strat. I have put a couple hundred in fixing the volume pot and tonal pot as they were both shot when I first got it. The pick ups needed to be resoddered to the switch because there was alot of humming coming from them and the original input supposedly had a short or something in it and thats why they replaced that as well. The body itself is in pretty decent shape...there are a couple of chips and cracked
clear coat that could be fixed. I really like this color however I was thinking of maybe trying to either make a swirl or just repaint Desert Yellow Sun because I just really like that color

Who knows, Ill probably just keep it the same color..keep it original.
