if the frets are good, the neck is right, the bridge and the nut are right; you can buy better pickups than come standard. Ask at your local guitar shop, maybe not guitar Center, about new pickups by Demarzio, Duncan (my favorites) and so on. I put a ?59B? in front, a humbucker classic strat in middle, and a hot Duncan with a tapped pole to reduce the output in the tail position. But, they had to do routingfor depth and put these nice frames around the so it was way beyond me. That guitar is gone. But I've had new nickle alloy pickups put on my Yamaha Les Paul copy and they also sound better than the original. My above guitar was an alder wood Fender Strat. This is a yamaha copy, as I said. But there are some primo pickups out there. Ask you guys at the shop what they think is required for the sound you want.
