The long and short of it...
A good friend of mine (soon to be brother in law) lost his brother in a tragic accident (God Rest His Soul), who was a great guitar player. The parents kept his strat, but my friend got an old Danelectro-short-horned w/ 2 lipsticks, 3-way toggle, and 2 combo volume/tone knobs.
He doesn't play the guitar and said I could keep it as long as I want. Part of me wants to leave it alone out of respect for the real owner. The other part wants to do the best I can with it by upgrading the pots/pickups, etc.
Question:
1. Tune it or leave it?
2. What upgrades do you guys recommend? (the pots are horrible)
Comments are appreciated!
Thanks for your thoughts on this one, guys-
