This time I upgrade the guitar I build from a cheap DIY Kit in one of my last vieos!
A cheap guitar can be improved by replacing crucial parts like for example the pickups and if you'r willing to invest a bit of time work and money you end up with a much nicer guitar.
I know people can go crazy when it comes to cusmoizing their guitar but taking a 60 bugs guitar and spending hundreds of dollars for high end replacement parts might be a bit overkill.
Instead I decided to keep it on a budget.
$41.95 USA Spaced Solid Brass Block Tremolo
$29.95 Gold Gotoh Style tuners
$4.95 Bone Nut
$13.95 Pickguard
$58.95 Alnico Pickups Set
And as soon as they arive in the mail I will change the switch and the potentiometers.
I also leveled the frets and gave the guitar a proper setup.
It's still a budget guitar but it's a big improvement. It sound and plays great.
