Recovered from my parents' loft. The Korean Squier Tele I had when I was 15! The serial number beginning with S means it was made, I think, in 1989-1990, so it's almost technically vintage! I think... anyhoo, here's a link to photos of it:
https://imgur.com/gallery/3Xi0cI'm wondering whether a wee restoration project might be in order. It's dusty, there's some relic and wear on the body, it will need a clean up (I don't even know what state the innards/wiring is in) and the frets look pretty worn. It looks pretty clean, though, for having sat unused in my folks' loft for 20 years.
Where the do I even start with getting such a Tele sounding halfway good?

You're golden.
Aside from the work they'd do, I'd say some oil city pickups and wiring harness would be lovely in that.
Don't change a thing about how it looks if it's unchanged since you were 15, that's almost priceless.
Happy Christmas man !

I've got my childhood Squier on my wall for nostalgia but wouldn't actually want to ever play it as it's terrible lol
@BintyTwanger77 pickup and wiring upgrade would be my first suggestion as the ceramics on these could be a bit microphonic and for some reason they were often fitted with 500k pots, which can sound a bit shrill. Also watch out if doing anything with the paint. A lot of S series Squiers were ply bodied so might be best to leave finish as is.
