Greetings fellow SOFTies,
Would like your inputs on my incoming project/upgrades.(kind in the budget area here: roughly about $500-$600)
This what I have currently in my mind.(well if you guys have more ideas feel free to input though)




Guitar Specs as follow:
Body: Nato
Neck: Maple Set-neck
Fingerboard: Rosewood
Bridge: LS-VBC Bridge
LS-VTC Tailpiece
Pickups: LSC F-3
Controls:3V, 1T, 3way-SW

Upgrades ->
Replacing all stock 3 Humbucker PUs to :
1.Tesla VR-60 classic (Neck)
2.Tesla VR-P90 (Middle)
3.Tesla VR-60 classic (Bridge)

Replacing all 3 Vol and 1 Tone pot:
1.Neck Volume: Push-Pull Pot 500K with 0.47 cap
2:Middle Volume :True Vintage TVT CTS pots with 0.22 cap
3.Bridge Volume: Push-Pull Pot 500K with 0.47 cap

3 way switch configuration wiring:

2.Middle : Both PUs
3.Treble : Bridge PU

Nut : replaced to Bone.

My middle pickup ( Tesla VR-P90 ) will always be on.If i don't want to use it can simply roll-off to '0'.

If you guys have any shop/tech guys to recommend feel free to input here.
Any more suggestion are welcome.

hmmm i dun know bro.....my friend told me something about this orange drop thingy...anything amiss bro?
 
ooh thats explain it.....
ok2 will take note of it...

thanks for pointing out.....quite new in modding
 
What sort of tone do you wnt and what is wrong with the original guitars tone?

A lot has to do with the amp and your pedals, so make sure you have a nice amp to play with and the guitar tone may improve a lot!

I agree about the bone nut, always found the sound improved once I cut one for a guitar. Try doing this first, getting the guitar set up well and you may find you don't need the other mods.

You might be lucky!

cheers,

Mark.
