Wow. First of all, I can’t believe I still have a log in here. I wanted to update you guys so I’m dredging up this 14 year old thread.
Obviously a ton has changed but I’ve finally taken the plunge and started the repair process on my dad’s capri. It should take about 4 weeks or so.
I decided to get the frets done. They are also checking out the neck and making sure it’s in good alignment and will sort out any issues there.
Unfortunately the bridge pickup isn’t functioning. I’m hoping it’s some sort of wiring fault but I’m prepared for any sort of necessary rewinding.
My dad is still around thankfully. He doesn’t really play much anymore but I’m still an avid guitar player. I also now have a 2.5 year old son who loves guitar and is especially fond of looking at the rick.
I plan to play the heck out of this thing when it’s up and running.
Thanks again to all those who chimed in so long ago. I think back to the insight you guys provided often whenever I do open the case.
