DARS S-Style Electric Needs Lots of Help

Part 1 | Part 2 | Part 3

This DARS S-style electric has been in storage since its original owner passed away, God rest his soul. The guitar is now in the hands of his younger brother, who believes that all is not quite right with it. As such, he's brought it to CA Guitar Repair for a diagnosis and repair estimate. 

At the time of writing, a number of issues clearly need to be addressed. These include the missing high E tuner bushing and washer, the grimy fretboard and frets, incorrect neck pitch, frozen volume and tone pots, grimy and tarnished hardware, rusty pickup pole pieces, and a grimy body, to mention a few. On the bright side, all three pickups are in working order and feature shielded leads. It's also reassuring to note that the body appears to be solid wood.
