[Phlogiston]

Take a look at the Scotts, Strats and M. Silvers on my blog. I have done them both ways but this is probably easiest: remove the components as intact as possible. When reinstalling you are going to rebuild the caps and many resistors, broken parts and so on. So in the end most parts will be removed and reinstalled, but it is a little easier keeping track in this way - until you have done a few dozen and  having a good memory will help.

P.S. In many of the ones I have done things like covers/shields and tuning caps are replated and painted. So having everything loose helps with this. One advantage I have is the ability to nickel plate here. (let some one else do the chrome.)
