Yep, it's not a bad price at all. I'm in the middle of modding it out. I've given it a unique paint job, replaced the pots with Bourns 500k full sized ones. Also, put in a Fender 5 way switch and wax potted the middle & neck pickups. I basically rewired it. Although to be a playing pickguard, I didn't "have to" do any of that. I know from the reviews that a few got duds but, for the most part, a stellar deal.
howdy-hi, thanx dude, I has same guitar, same idea on modding/upgrade, u helped me out alot, I'm just getting me feet wet, complete newbie, again thanx
Cool 😎 glad to help. Good luck with your mods. Take your time, and you'll get it just right! One thing to note the Humbuckers in neck & middle fit really tight, so if you end up pulling them out, be really careful. I wax potted those two, and they are not nearly as microphonic now. Mine is turning out wicked cool. Just finished the paint job on the pickguard last night. Airbrushed on Createx "Metallic silver", then some "Candy2o blood red" over some cool lace material and finished it off with Createx 4050 gloss, and it came out great. Like I said in the video, I'm changing out the pots to Bourns 500k full sized ($15 on Amazon) and a Fender 5-way switch ($9.95 on Amazon), I can't wait to hear the difference in sounds. I will do a follow-up video as a demo.
Awesome videos Denny
I bought that exact pickguard too, based on the advertised DCR ratings on the pups. Not a bad price.
