A year and a half later, I went through with it, did all the work myself (with help from my drummer and my sister's boyfriend).
Started off with this...
Notice the affectionately named "Gretschbucker"
And as of last week, it now looks like this...
The look is very similar of course, what changed drastically is the sound!
The bridge pickup sounds much more dynamic and responsive to picking technique, a bit brighter, and to use one of "those" words, it sounds more "Open".
The neck sounds nice and smooth, and not as muddy as the stock one. This one doesn't sound as good when overdriven, it gets a bit too woofy and muddy to my taste, but it does fit nicely in a lot of the tunes we play.
A few clips to get the point across... don't mind the ****** camera audio though!
End result = TVJones => Great company, great product!
Gigged with it twice already, love it!
