Picked up a Squire strat at a garage sale. Five bux. Nothing wrong with it, functionally- the kid has spray-painted the top- with pick guard, bridge, EVERYTING, still in place, with red oxide primer. Some Urethane bumper paint stripper and steel wool took it off; buffing with my high-speed buffer brought back the shine.
Plastic parts would not let go of the paint, so they had to be replaced. Cheaper to buy a loaded pickguard from Guitar Fetish than just the parts I needed, so $20 later (still waiting on it getting here) and all is right with the world.
One of the easiest guitar rescues I ever did.
