    Pearly Gates Bridge vs Seth Lover Bridge

    In your situation I would have changed the magnet to an UO al5 or an al8 depending on how hot you want it. Done it a couple of times and have been pleased with the results.

    Mods with resale in mind

    Greco Pickups

    I have a pair of "screaming" wasn't to happy with the tone as I wanted more of a wintage tone. Changed the bridgepickup magnet to a alnico 8 and the neckpickup magnet to a alnico 4. The pickups got more vintage sounding really quite good. It wasn't either expensive or hard to do. I can really...

    LP Custom rare colour vs ordinary black value

    Yeah I liked the look to, anyway I don't think it sold very fast .If I'm correct its from 11. That's good cause it probably have a ebony and not a richlite fingerboard. But it also tells something about how easy it is to sell if you want to move on. So what do you think a seconhand one will...
