A lot of work went into getting her cleaned-up.
I didn't remove the neck, but all else was fair game down to screws and springs.
Boiled the strings with a little baking soda to get the gunk out of the windings and bring back some brightness and sustain.
Adjusted the neck's truss-rod to get it straight and at the same time lower the action.
After that you have to re-do the intonation unless you like to play out of tune.
Installed StrapLocks so she doesn't ever leave me before I decide to let her go...
After all that work I spent only a few minutes gazing at her with lust before pulling out the camera gear and going to work capturing how I felt--while she was still fresh and clean.
Before I got my hand around that slender neck and used her.
It's a shame we can't stay together forever.
But she isn't truly mine, except in my heart.
