Let me guess... You made ALL of these modifications at the same time and are unscientifically reporting about the improvements but can't tell us which had the most effect. Thanks a lot...

I'm just kidding, I pretty much did the same thing to a Les Paul. I changed the electronics, the stopbar, and switched to new strings. I didn't do this for anyone else but me, and I could tell the difference. I have felt bad when people have asked me what opened up the tone of the guitar - and I have to admit I changed the volume and tone pots, the capacitor, etc., all at the same time.

All I can say is that I had a dark and muddy guitar before, and an incredible one afterwards. I don't mind boutique caps. Some people will complain about these, even though the cost is the same as a hamburger, fries, and a coke. I only have one guitar, and am putting together a second. Most likely, I will some day max out at three - so fancy caps don't bother me.

Thanks for sharing, and I'm glad things sound great. Personally, I like rsguitarworks.
