Teardown of electric guitar
Was du brauchst
-
-
Pull off the end cap on the pickup selector.
-
Note: This is not how the switch should normally look. This one is bent slightly; the tip should be pointing straight up.
-
-
-
Unscrew the three bolts holding the tone/volume potentiometers to the scratch plate.
-
-
-
Another method of dis-assembly: remove the pickguard screws (leaving pickup screws, pots and switch untouched).
-
Remove the jack plate, desolder or cut the output jack wires, flip over the guitar and desolder the ground wire on the tremolo. Remove the pickguard with all electronics attached.
-
This method gives easy access to do electronics repairs/mods, without having to readjust pickup heights and individual components won't move around when you're soldering.

-
Unscrew the two screws holding the lead input cover in place and lift off the cover.

Undo the 6 screws holding the saddles to the bridge. Then remove the spring and unscrew the 12 threaded bars.

Push the tuners from the front to pop them loose. It make take a bit of force if the alignment peg is stuck. Some use screws instead.
-

-
Remove the tension screw followed by the tuner button, metal and then fiber washer.

Great for a "tear-down" per-se, but horrible first steps for anyone to use to get inside their Fender Strat.
To get inside, don't unscrew every screw from the surface as is described here. The faceplate of a Fender Strat (and many other guitars) holds all the electronics to itself, so you only need to undo the screws around the edges and then lift off the faceplate to get to everything inside. From here you can remove the components that matter and solder or re-wire as is necessary, and then replace the faceplate as a single unit.
The steps in this article will lead to far more work than is necessary if you plan on fixing or replacing aspects of the guitar.
when I pulled off the knobs they pulled out a metal pin and the pin will not come out of the knob and I cant get the knob and pin to go back in
I'm having the same problem. Does anyone know the fix or have you found a solution?
