Take all the hardware off . separate neck from the body. Strip the paint off. Id stain it after that and research what you want to make the guitar a relic of. Here's a vid that might help

lol at the first one, the whole burning it thing looks a bit fun

There's a good one which involves getting a heavy bike chain, and just beating your guitar with it (taking everything off before hand ofc lol)
