Like I suggested in a previous post, it doesn't have to cost a lot to upgrade the OP's guitar. For under $90 he can get a bone nut, saddle, bridge pins and Grover 18:1 tuning machines with a little know how and a bit of resourcefulness. To say it isn't worth it and to just save up for a different guitar wasn't what he was asking.
As for other threads, that's a different story and I'm not opening that can of worms too much. But, as suggested before, this place sometimes comes across as a rich man's forum.

The OP was asking for advice and suggesting that he spend $90 for "upgrades" on a $200 guitar doesn't seem like good advice to me...at the end of the day it will still sound pretty much like a $200 guitar.
