I\'m sure you can do the pickup install with no problem and it will actually be fun.<\/p>\n\n
There is room for the battery in the control panel in the back and someone said you should velcro it or tape it off to the side for a better installation. That should make a big difference in the sound of your guitar. You might want to research it a little more and see if some different capacitors would help improve the sound more. They are like two dollars US each. The soldering is easy. Be sure to heat up the parts really well first, before adding the solder, this way you can avoid cold solder joints that will cause problems later.<\/p>\n\n
Sounds like you can stay within your money restraints by doing the work yourself and wind up having a great sounding guitar without having to spend a lot of money at a difficult time in your life. There is nothing like a nicely upgraded guitar that you did yourself. It will give you something fun to do at a time when a great hobby can be a big help.<\/p>\n\n
The enchantment of playing guitar is a great thing and any guitar is better than no guitar. Tone and a lot to sound is in your fingers and soul. Somebody can make some awesome music with a reasonable guitar.<\/p>\n\n
Duffy\nWinfield, Pa. USA\nTwo cheap new agathis LTD\'s that look and sound great\nthrough some decent amps.\nPlus other much more expensive guitars that also sound good,\nbut I play the LTD\'s more frequently, maybe because they are new, but not as new as my Fender Highway one, blond.<\/p><\/div>\n\n \n\n
