Have you ever tricked out a cheap guitar into something great?

Re: Have you ever tricked out a cheap guitar into something great?

I got a beat-up Burny SG for a great price. Wiped it down, installed new pickups and electronics and it kicks serious arse!!! Probably my best sounding guitar.

Unfortunately I'm not really bonding with the neck profile (wide-flat), so I may be selling it soon.

I like the inlay figure and color too...

I've made my Epiphone LP passable. It sounds pretty shoddy acoustically so I don't have a great platform to work with, but when I modded it for Gibson ceramic Firebird pickups it started sounding pretty good plugged in and I reserve it for odd tunings and the occasional song.
