Guitar Rebuild part 1

So, the thing I lost in the fire that I miss most is my Fender Standard Stratocaster. As you can see below, it is toast. There was significant fire damage on the neck, but the body only sustained heat and surface damage. It wasn't an expensive guitar, but it has a lot of sentimental and personal value, so I decided to rebuild it. Rebuilding it will consist of sanding and refinishing the body, and buying the rest of the parts needed like neck, bridge, pickups, etc. I will try and post info and pictures as I progress through the rebuild process. For now, here is a shot post-fire and pre-rebuild.
