  • Nice! Love to see this! I’m rereupgrading my first electric guitar. It’s a budget strat. I redid a bunch of things on it in 2020 but I miss the stock pickups. They had a tone quality I haven’t been able to replicate on any other guitar. I’m also returning it to mostly its original look with a new pick guard that has the same style. And I really wanted locking tuners like my Charvel has. Also thinking of sanding down the back of the neck to remove the glossy finish. I’ll keep the 2020 upgrades attached to the old pick guard and do hot swaps when I get bored with the new setup. Excited to see stuff like this, maybe I’ll share my rebuild with this group!






  • I definitely went down the rabbit hole after reading the article posted, which was very well compiled. Their testing and reviews are very high quality and it looks like they can apply their test results to multiple curated use cases. Their tests also seem repeatable, which is important for this niche. To branch out, they would have to build out very specific testing environments, which is not a small investment, depending on what they are testing. If I ever need an air purifier, I know where to look now I guess. Like some say, if your going to do something, focus on doing one thing and do it well.
