Squier California Series Stratocaster Upgrade

This strat was bought used for a mere RM250, according to the owner. Besides needing a full refret, it was suffering from years of neglect. Work done on this guitar included the following:
1. De-rusting and polishing the bridge plate
2. Replacing the bridge mounting screws and saddles
3. Replacing the tremolo claw and springs
4. Repairing a previously-botched fretboard "repair job"
5. Replacing the output jack plate
6. Replacing the stock 18-spline control knobs with genuine Fender 24-spline ones
7. Full shielding
8. Upgrading the electronics/wiring
(Gavitt wire/CRL 5-way switch/CTS 250K pots/Sprague "orange drop" tone cap/Switchcraft output jack)
