I upgrade almost everything screwed to my new guitar. The only thing i didn't upgrade was the neck pickup. Let's face it, who uses a neck pickup for metal;-) Everything else is nice premium stuff. I even got direct replacement Grover Locking 18:1 tuners, which are a significant upgrade over the stock 12:1 Min-Rotomatics. Upgrades:Gibson 57 Classic PlusSwitchcraft Switch SHORT (gold - three way)Gibson 500K PotsOrange Drop Cap .47...not .22. I like the way .47 works with a humbuckerSwitchcraft Output JackGrover Mini-Rotomatics: Locking - 18:1
Total invested in the guitar comes in at around $1150 CAD.
