Getting a new SG

Sinmastah · 01-26-2008, 07:39 PM

Hey, hows it going. I should be recieving a G-400 SG, faded cherry =D. Anyways, Ive just played my old guitar completely stock. To give you an example, I havn't even messed w/ the tune-a-matic bridge. I'm just wondering what I can do with the guitar right out of the box to get optimal performance, by not spending too much. Any quick Ideas?

Why don't you wait until it arrives, check it out and see what about it, if anything, you don't like. Then consider what to change on it. I would at least give it a set up with fresh strings and go from there. The most obvious changes would be new pickups and pots, maybe new tuners. But I had one of those and the fake 57 classics they have aren't too bad actually. Give it a run first and then come back for better suggestions.
