the stripping and spraying!

So she went black! (with a bit of glitter, just for good measure)

(control knobs yet to be removed)

So after a bit of speculation as to wether or not i had removed the old bridge when i sprayed all those years ago (i had), and a huge fight with numerous hex keys, i finally managed to remove the old knobs, to a lovely suprise.
I hadnt removed the knobs when i sprayed....

Luckily the new ones are larger!
