If you can't find anything to change by playing it, dont change anything.

Re: customizing...

Get shaller straplocks. I suppose u could get a mirror pickguard, if your guitar has a pickguard of course...
Get some guitar polish.
Get some lemon oil for the neck

Re: customizing...

JS30's don't have pickguards...

and they're fixed bridges, if the bridge gives you trouble kill it (and get a better one). Umm, when I tried them those pickups were very bass-light, kind of like anemic EMG-HZs, so I'd suggest replacing those as soon as possible. Also, while my old jackson had decent electronics (volume, switch, tone) I suggest you get new ones. The JS30 series plays nicely but the equipment sucks.

1. Pickups
2. Electronics
3. Straplocks

really optional:
4. Bridge (only if you don't like it, I haven't seen one in a while so I don't know how good or bad it is)
5. Nut
6. Tuners

Re: customizing...

What I think that you should take care of is straplocks. Pots and switches aren't usually of the best quality with import Jacksons, so change them (but only if) they make noise or bother you otherwise.

If it stays in tune, no need to change tuners or nut. If it doesn't, either one or both could be the fault.

If you don't like its sound 100%, try changing the pickups. Check out SD and DMZ first and ask more specific questions in the pickup lounge.

+1

New pickups are pretty easy to install and will probably make the most effect on your tone.

A professional set will make it play alot better, just make shure you take it to a tech with a good reputation.

Re: customizing...

Re: customizing...

You still haven't really told us what about the guitar you wish were different. If you're just looking to change it just for the sake of having a "customized" guitar, save your money.

Although Tha Foamizzle's comment about blingin' rims is worth looking into :afro:
