The joy of guitars is that they're passive. Unlike pulling apart a computer you'd be pretty hard pressed to irreconcilably damage your electronics. I had no real experience and managed to swap out the pots, 5-way and resolder the jack. Good as new. Although I'm not going to admit how many times I had to open her back up because of... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (jordanazor) http://johnmayer.yuku.com/sreply/313537 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 15:43:07 GMT http://johnmayer.yuku.com/reply/313483/t/Japanese-Strat.html#reply-313483 feeds@yuku.com (mrdama) http://johnmayer.yuku.com/sreply/313483 Mon, 21 Jul 2008 10:47:59 GMT http://johnmayer.yuku.com/reply/313482/t/Japanese-Strat.html#reply-313482 I haven't played on a Telecaster.

I'm not sure how much MIJ strats are worth, they're better than MIM (mexico) strats for sure. They supposed to be 'cheaper' than MIA (american) strats, but as I understand it, they're hit-and-miss. Some are only fair, but sometimes Japanese Strats are very very nice guitars.

Take it to a shop if you're not into soldering & wiring.
