Be prepared to take your time. Custom-painting and finishing a guitar body properly is a process that can take weeks. Don't rush. There may be a tendency to get it done so you can play it: the solution to that is to acquire a finished, ready-to-go body. If you're doing your own paint job, you'll want to do it by the book and get it right-- or the rush-job will definitely show (badly) in the final results. | Be prepared to take your time.

# Reassemble the guitar. Screw or bolt together the guitar's hardware. If you had to snip any wires to disassemble the guitar, you'll have to solder them back together. This is now also a good time to replace the cheap factory components, namely the potentiometers, with high quality ones. You can even buy a new pick guard or make a custom one. Once assembled, the guitar can be cleaned and shined using your usual guitar polish. Now just string it, tune it, and enjoy your beautiful new instrument! | # Reassemble the guitar.
