Chandler Stratocaster guitar 1987 made in USA Renovation, repair Part 3

Hi Everybody!
Today I Show you the Chandler Stratocaster US Flag style Guitar 1987 Made In USA Renovation repair Part 3. Today, only sanding and varnishing of the guitar neck, repair of damages and application and varnishing of the headstock logo. My nephew is making the American flag pattern for the pickguard on his computer. The Shaller tremolo for the Stratocaster arrives, but unfortunately the surface is not good, the blade is not long enough and it does not fit in place due to the big block. I'm sending it back and I'm ordering a Floyd Rose type for EVH, which is already good. If you have any question please ask my or I make something wrong, please tell me! Thank your very much for the "Like" or "dislikes " please subscribe.

Victor,
I am facinated with this repair!! The Tremelo post has too much"Play" in it making it too loose because of the crack in the body. I watched and thought you would cut a new piece of wood for the Tremelo post in the body. However, seeing you use a glue bottle with a hair line applicator for the repair supprized me. Will the glue penitrate deep enough into the crack to make it strong? The Tremelo carries alot of pressure and force isolated in the front of the post. Typically when I repair a plaster wall we open the crack moisten the plaster with water then replaster...making the repair as strong as original plaster wall. The same principle applies here.
Secondly, I noticed you were concerned about the screw grooves in the Tremolo post not having sufficient threads to have the proper grip streanth. I thought flipping the post over was a genius move! 3rdly...your nephew usin a computer program to print the decal was facinating. Did he 3-D print the pick gaurd as well? 4thly...will the decal go under the pick giard or on top of the pick gaurd? Alot of questions went through my head on this one! So...waiting for your next post on The Chandler Guitar.
Thanks Ray!

Hello Ray!
Thank you for still watching my videos and sending me useful information! The truth is that the guitar belongs to a 70-year-old retired motorcyclist and he can spend only 300€ on refurbishing the guitar! We are already at €350, but I accepted it because it is a big challenge for me and I enjoy it! Unfortunately, the owner did not ask for the repair of the cracked part under the bridge, of course I would have done it almost exactly as you described. The curse of video film editing is that only one-tenth of the correction can be included in the finished film, in reality I stretched it a little in the bridge leg and let the glue into the gap. I know it's not professional work, but it's better than doing nothing.
We don't print the pickgaurd, I ordered it ready-made from Germany, it's transparent, I think it's acrylic plastic. the sticker was pasted underneath.
