I've bought a beat up Yamaha 12 stringer off eBay to do up.

I am proper wank at anytime DIY or constructive, but thus far I have quite enjoyed it.

Stripped all of the hardware off as it was rusting, soaked it in vinegar, pasted it in bi-carb, rinsed and dried and it looks great (better in hand).

Now you to deep clean it top to toe and oile the neck and it will probably be back together re-strung within another few days (time permitting).

Upgrading the metal has felt pretty rewarding for not that not output........

Good for you mate. I've done a few renovations over the years.

Put my bits in the dishwasher, came up well. It's how I learned to set up, truss rod tightening etc.

Lets see pics of before and after when you've finished.

Two people were shouting at each other in Eastenders so you haven't missed much.
