Ibanez GRG470 Restoration: Part Two

This is the second post on an Ibanez GRG470 that has fallen into ruin from sheer neglect. As the guitar's barely playable and produces only intermittent sound, I've taken her apart for a thorough diagnosis and remedial action. Parts that are too rusted to be saved have been replaced, and those that can be salvaged have been de-rusted, cleaned; lubed and polished. 

The pickups are still working, but I've had to junk the electronics. These have been replaced with, amongst other new components; Alpha A500K pots and a Neutrik/Rean NYS229 output jack. And yes, I've also reconditioned the fretboard and polished the jumbo frets.
