String Saver Saddles
are these guitar upgrades worth it?
i have a squier affinity stratocaster.. i love this thing even tho its horrible i cant bring myself to part with it.. i have had it for about 6 years.. i have a long list of parts i want to change on it..but is it worth it?
my parts include..graphtec string saver stratocaster setup (saddles..string trees..nut) , fender tex mex pixkups, cts pots, dimarzio 5 way switch and output jack, and fender tuners? all in all it will be about 200$ with out having the elctrnics installed?
do u think its worth it
Hello! Whether or not it is worth putting $200+ into a guitar that may be worth less than $100 really becomes a decision of personal preference, rather than a financial determination. Even with the upgraded parts, should you sell it in the future you would be lucky to get $150 for the guitar. The better (financial) choice would be to purchase a pre-owned Mexican Standard Stratocaster, which appear regularly on Craig's List and eBay for $250 to $350. Having stated the obvious, I can only offer that the improvements you mention will definitely make your guitar sound fuller and stay in tune more consistently. If you are able to do the installations yourself (saving $100 to $200), and plan to keep your guitar for another 6 years, I say give it a shot! My only reservation would be retaining the stock Squier bridge (even though you plan to change the saddles). The operation and stability would be greatly enhanced with a better bridge assembly (see http://www.jhs.co.uk/wilkinson.html , http://store.guitarfetish.com/tremelos.html , http://www.stewmac.com/shop/Bridges,_tailpieces/Electric_guitar_tremolos.html , and http://angela.com/search.aspx?find=tremolo+bridge for some possible candidates).
