Hey everyone. I was hoping you could help point me in the right direction. I have a LP Studio Deluxe II..it's completely stock loaded with a stock 409R & BBpro and coil splits. I'm looking into upgrading to get a better overall balance between clean & driven tones. I'm looking at doing several things...
1. Changing pickups out to either Thurnbuckers or Lollar Immperials
2. Should I go with low wind..I've heard those are the best well rounded.
3. Thinking of changing the wiring to series/parallel instead of the current split.
4. (easy change) Screw the stoptail down and wrap the strings.
I'm sure this has probably been discussed..but curious of opinions and/or experience with making these changes to this guitar.
Reason I ask...I have a set amount to purchase a new guitar..but my budget will put me around $1500ish...so I figured maybe spend way less and just upgrade what I have. Style of music normally played : Worship stuff...and I'm currently in an 80's tribute band..so pretty much anything from pop to marshal gainy stuff.
Looking forward to your input!
