I have a '96 MIM top loader that I am turning into string through and have a nice Callaham bridge on it's way from a great TDPer (Thanks Dollar!), RS Guitarworks esqure pots, switch and cap, Electro (?) jack and will be getting a nice pickup for her. The next big plan is to strip off the poly finish and crappy arctic white and re do her in Olympic White. Am I polishing a turd here for a poplar body or will I get the same tonal effect as a Alder body?
