The guitar wasn't awful when I bought it, but I decided to turn it into something a little...nicer.

Bought a black pickguard and backplate, a set of GFS Texas Staggers, new tuners, and a Mid-Boost/Frequency Expander board. Also in the plan is to replace the trem block with a higher mass block.


One of the problems I've run into is that the new pickguard with full size Alpha pots doesn't seem to want to fit in the cavity. My plan is to rout a little bit out, so that the assembly will fit without having to Dremel the pickguard. I'm a little nervous about it, so if anyone has any suggestions, I'm all ears. Actually, any suggestions and/or advice about the whole project would be appreciated. Thanks!
