Then I just recently switched over to Fender CS Fat 50s, which was more in line with my music style ($100). A setup and installing the items above was $100. So, now I have exactly what I want for around $500. I also added an extra string and tightened down the tremolo bar.
It's a perfect playing and sounding guitar with an awesome feeling neck, beautiful Daphne blue body, and all the parts I like so much. It's money well spent! This guitar was really good from the start, but now I'm really loving it!

The unlimited ability to upgrade guitars like this is a big plus. I will eventually make this into a $500-$600 guitar that sounds and plays like a $1200 guitar. I will also enjoy making into something that is my own creation. It isn't bad from the factory, though, so until I decide which direction to take this one, she's just fine.
One thing is certain, I will not muck up the color scheme in any way. The pickups, knobs, etc. will be matching to the same theme. I can have what I want and still keep it beautiful.
