Plenty of recordings have vintage Fender and Gibson pickups- plenty have newer EMG/Dimarzio/Duncan. So- getting professional sounds out of professional gear is what it's about. So- in practicality it is the most important part of your sound besides getting a new instrumentĪ few comments also talk about microphones- Adele is Adele through a $50 mic or a $50,000 signal chainīUT- no one is going to buy Adele's music if it was recorded with a $15 samson mic What's left to do in a guitar you like that controls every aspect of the sound? change the pickups You can change your pick- which does a lot of difference- but overall- you're not doing any of those if you like the guitar- if you have to change everything than the guitar is the problem. You can change the nut- which- i do in many many guitars- from tusq to genuine floyd rose- and it is an improvement- more so in tuning and sanity than sound. What's left? the springs- if they work well- it's not going to be much of a difference- you can change the frets once again- not practical You can change a bridge- but it's not practical, in some cases possible- or worth what the guitar is worth in many cases. You change the strings- not that much of a difference no matter how many people they swear by heavy guages tell me i'm crazy for using 7's and 8's. if you change the body- it's not the same guitar, if you change the neck it's a different guitar. people mostly agreed that no one really was saying that- but I'd argue- in one way they are.
