it's just that no matter how many vintage parts you put on it, its still a Historic and will always be a Historic and never a 'Burst. The whole point however, is its your guitar and it makes you happy

Look .. I know that all the vintage parts in the world wont make Sybil a Burst !! But I like it ! and that's what matters right !!! Although a good number of my upgrades did improve my tone ! Like the steel studs , dbl thumbwheels & Pigtail (no wire ) ABR1 !!!

Right! I know it will never be a real Burst, but I sure don't mind it looking like a real one!
