I've borrowed a guitar I gave to my dad until my Danocaster is finished. I actually borrowed a JP6, but my dad's feels better, so I'm keeping it.
It was a $150 musicman Sterling. It's outplaying everything and the feel is incredible. I don't want to like it, because it's ugly and cheap. What can I do though? It's un-fuckin-real. I'm going to cancel my Dano order, if I can sort out the following:
It needs a pick-up swap (at the bridge at a minimum)
The tremolo knocks it right the f' outta tune. The bridge is setup weird, but the action is perfect. The adjustment screws tear into my hands.

What I want to do:
- pup swap
- nut upgrade
- bridge upgrade
- switch to locking tuners
- upgrade the pickguard - not sure what goes with red nicely.
