Epiphone lp custom upgrades

[An Kerreng]

Hi,

I wanna upgrade my Epiphone lp custom
pots, jack and toggle switch.

Any recommended shop for me to go?

Need to know roughly how much is it
gonna cost me.

Appreciate all your help

just upgrade the pickups bro. less than 200 if you buy pick ups second hand at the buy and sell section.

Changing to JB/Jazz set soon.
So no need change the other parts?

 

[an2]

the rest all up to you to be honest.

i changed:
- pickups (JB/Jazz too)
- tuners (Gotoh locking)
- output jack (neutrik locking)
- string tree (TUSQ)
- nut (TUSQ)
- strap locks
- bridge saddles
- pots (250k Audio CTS for JB/Jazz set, confirm)
- capacitor (orange, more than enough)

MUAHAHAHA

oh yes, cannot forget:

- push/pull tone pot for coil split.
- atas internal wires (think Mogami) because the old ones had their rubber coatings worn out.

they're all fun to do, these little upgrades. but if the guitar doesn't feel good in the first place then don't bother changing anything, because you'll never be satisfied anyways.

do post updates

You could try dropping an RS kit in if you're willing to part with the cash! I've found that they've helped substantially with all the guitars I've done it on.

But like an2 said, make sure you love the feel before doing anything more!

RS kit? Whats that?

RS kit? Whats that?

It's a whole set of electronics (pots, caps, jack etc) that's generally higher quality than whatever came stock.
