Besides putting new tuning heads and pickups into your guitar, what else would you do to really make it nicer?

Re: Souping up a guitar...
Bridge, nut, tailpiece replacements are popular.Originally posted by The MinstrelFair as the country was and the goatboy life my fellows' lot, if I could not've imagined my music's one day whisking me Orionlike to the stars, I'd have as well flung myself into the sea. No other fate would even faintly do; an impassioned lack of alternatives moved my tongue; what for another might be a heartfelt wish was for me an absolute condition.

On strats - you could try either a neck or body, even both and then change the pups, hardware after that. Keep the strings though - something has to be original

Refl. I can just imagine those vintage nuts playing '59 LPs with 45 year old strings, and 30 year old tubes in their Marshalls.Originally posted by The MinstrelFair as the country was and the goatboy life my fellows' lot, if I could not've imagined my music's one day whisking me Orionlike to the stars, I'd have as well flung myself into the sea.

Re: Souping up a guitar...
Originally posted by JSSwould you recommend getting an Earvana compensating nut?
Also, what is to gain by changing a bridge?
Pickups are obvious, look where I'm posting...
Tuners, I'm gonna get Sperzels. Just because they rule.
A better bridge will hold tuning better, operate more smoothly and won't catch the strings on any burrs and break 'em.
Never used the Earvana, but it looks intrigunig. Guys like Vai love compensated nuts, like the Buzz Feiten tuning method, but I have no 1st hand experience with it. I usually just use a locking nut.Last edited by TwilightOdyssey; 05-10-2004, 12:12 PM.Why don't you take your little Cobra Kais and get outta here?!
