    I did this to my diy Tele I got for Christmas a couple years ago , it had the typical top loading ashtray bridge. But I had to wing it with my drill because I don't have a drill press. Came out pretty good and was definitely an improvement in resonance...

    Man, I gotta hand it to ya: I'm pretty sure it was here on your channel that I saw the advice to check if a piece of fret wire is fully pressed in before looking to file or dress it. I've had 3 guitars now that all had a bit of buzz due to a fret sitting proud because it wasn't fully seated, including my Schecter C-7 SLS Elite. A couple good taps on the proud frets, and 3 out of 3 were fixed the easy way, no fret dressing needed! Thanks so much, brother.. I'm all about that practical advice that saves me time and money. Love this channel. Subbing.

    That’s a feather weight I’ve always liked the way those Cort Strats look and I’m digging the red tortoise with the zebra duncans and those witch hat knobs tie it together just right. It sounds great too , you can just about bet your paycheck if an electric is that loud played acoustically it’s going to rip wherever you plug it up. Honestly if I’m looking at electrics below 500 dollars a lot of time I don’t even plug them up if they feel good and sound good acoustically if the pickups pots and switches suck gives me a good excuse to put something I want in there anyway.

    I would buy a Cort HH100 and a string through the bridge bridge and put Cathy’s pickups in it. I would also dig a used throw away carcass and be happy with it! And then is true about the bridge rattling. The string through and HT Strat bridge is the truth! It sounds as good as an HH T Fender, every bit!

    Sean, thank you so much for this! I was wanting to do this exact same thing to a telecaster style guitar I recently bought.
    Although it's a different style of bridge plate (It has already has holes for the string-through option), it also wasn't drilled.
    I was wondering if my hand drill would be good enough to do the job, but since you've shown me how a bit can bend and walk, I'm fixing to head to my local Harbor Freight for a cheap drill press, and a champering bit (and plastic hammer), so I can do justice to this awesome $98 (shipped) tele.. My 1st tele style, ever!I bought another scratch plate and ferrules from Temu, and am going to have a blast modding this guitar shaped object from China.
    I also have two Strat style bodies and necks from Temu that I'm building from the ground up, alongside a Squire Strat that needed a fresh paint job.
    It also needs some of those Catbuckers, "hint-hint".
    Thanks for all of the helpful and inspiring information and support!

    CORT guitars are well-made in Indonesia and one with Seymour Duncan pickups was already done over. Duncans are top notch pickups! But a plain Cort pickup set is fine! I buy guitars used and correct small defects, if any, and do all the setup myself and it is easy to learn...

    Sounds good unplugged and the red stain did made the scars less noticeable though being that it's a second hand guitar and the marks are on the back I don't know if I would have wasted the stain. But, if you like it better then that's what matters.

I want to upgrade have already put some seymore duncan pj pickuos in, although I'm hesring I may need to put a better eq in to get the most out of them. It is not able to be intonated messed around with the bridge but cant get it. What replacements can I get, I.e. bridge, eq and pots? Also do you know if the necks on these are any good say if I do a truss rod adjustment and fret level because it has some buzz ?
