First Thing I do when I get my guitar is...

[naviros]

PLUG IN AND PLAY INTO MY AWESOME AMP!!! :evil::evil::evil:

Hahaha... Or something like that...

As per the title...

Just curious as to what you would do, like modifications to neck... string action... add more springs to trem... or the like... ^.^

 

[leecs]

Never check tuning meh????? Out of tune still play until so shiock!!! hahaha

 

[dodgethis]

Destring and check the electronics wiring, tidy up if needed. Once done, give the whole thing a good cleaning with rubbing alcohol. You never know where the previous owner's hands went lol

 

[subversion]

1. action setting (a must)
2. replace strings to my preferred brand name

other mods/ replacements would mean i have other preferences for the guitar along the way, nothing of immediate concern.

Hahaha... normally will only find the tuning out after I play ma...

Wah... wiring... serious not... I till today haven't pop the hood on my guitar to see wiring...

 

[dodgethis]

You should see how some solder joints are just begging for a breakage the way they are done. I like my soldering and wiring work neat and tidy

1. Tune it up.
2. Sit it on the stand and take photos.
3. Play the crap out of it!

 

[fndjufri]

Clean it, take some pictures, stare at it for a while, tune up, and play.

 

[junkiemanxl]

1. Check wiring and re-solder if necessary
2. Change to my preferred gauge of strings
3. Give it a good setup
4. Wax polish
5. Take some pics

ROCK ON! \m/

[LadyInTears]

[Whitestrat]

A simple set up.

THEN

Plug into amp and play... in clean mode... get to know the guitar well first, before "colouring" the tones.

Hahahaha... I see ding, no matter if the guitar is worn, extra ding = heart pain... If I dunno = good, no pain... hahaha...

Ahhh... that's a good habit that I can pick up... But I think I spend so much time doing the set up... I'll end up not coloring the tone until much later... >.<

If the guitar works, just bring for set up and change to a set of strings you like.

Then play....pickup changes and what not you can decide after you realize what you like or don't like about what you have now.
