How to take apart and clean an electric guitar. (Dismantle Disassemble)

In the video below I show you how to completely take apart a strat style guitar and give it a really good clean. Most guitars will not need to be taken apart in this way but I thought I would use this as an example to show you how it’s done.

This guitar was bought second hand on ebay it was in working orderĀ  but was a bit grubby so I thought I would give it the full treatment to make it as good as new for a new guitarist setting out with their first electric guitar.

That was interesting to watch but I don’t think I will be taking my guitar to bits just yet.

What does the wire do on the tremolo claw?

It is the Earth connection for the trem block and therfore the strings on the guitar.
