Hey guys,
Recently I decided that instead of buying a new guitar, that I would like to upgrade my very first guitar into an awesome metal machine.
My first guitar was an Ibanez GRX20
http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Iba...itar?sku=519417This is a really low end guitar, but it would really mean a lot to me if I made it a great guitar. Essentially I'm willing to get rid of everything but the body itself.
I would like to replace the neck with a better one, maybe with custom inlays
I would also replace the pups, maybe throw in some Warpigs
My main question is about the bridge. Would I have to replace that as well? If yes, is that hard to do?
I'm also curious about the color, is there a way to strip the paint off without damaging the body?
do you guys have any ideas/advice?
thanks
