[BlindHandyMan] How do you rework an old electric guitar?

2008-02-15 Thread Matt
Mine is not an old guitar in my opinion. It's a Japanese knock off of the fender stradacaster which I bought when I was 16 or so and I am now 37, so it's old, but not pre plastic or anything ya know? hahaha, My question is, could I possibley rework it myself? Replace wiring and such if necessary,

Matt, I'd have to say that it really depends upon what's wrong with it. I imagine replacing the pickups etc. would not be entirely impossible provided your handy with a soldering iron. There is a lot if your talking about all the various pots and pickup selector switches etc. If you have a

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 m

Isn't it amazing the stuff they've come up with? I just picked up a Brubaker that this gent paid somewhere between $5,000 and $7,000 since I don't know if he got it from the Brubaker shop directly which means he probably paid MSRP or what. In any event, I paid much less than either price an

Nice, I played one of the nobody Steinberger and it was pretty neat. I also have a Fender American Jazz and a U.S Masters which is made in Wisconsin. I figured if I could get what I wanted, then I'd be happy. The only other bass I'd love to have is a good fretless. I tried a couple, but jus

Personally I liked the ibanez (fender percussion copy) Blazer bass better than the Fender. I had a big Gibson for a while. I sold it and went to Mustangs and Squires for a while. I didn't like the sound of the Stein without a body, it sounded worse to me than the short scale basses I was trying
