ESP LTD George Lynch GL-200MT Upgradeable?

Hey All,

This may have been covered. Has anyone upgraded their GL-200MT? I've asked ESP a couple times and there is no plan to release a 400 Series George Lynch Model. So, with that, I'm thinking of buying a GL-200MT and upgrading the Floyd Rose Special to a Floyd Rose Original Tremolo, as well as upgrading the P/U to a Seymour Duncan SH-12 Screamin' Demon or something better.

I'm sure the P/U is an easy swap. Is it easy to swap out a Special for an Original Floyd Rose?

Thanks,
Derek

OFR is a direct replacement for the FR special

A slight upgrade : I always had a hard time playing a Strat with the location of the volume knob so I relocated the volume knob & added a Kill switch to fill the hole where the old location of the volume use to be (Ibanez sure grip III knob) replaced pickup with Seymour Duncan Custom SH-5 & CTS audio taper 500k Pot, as for the Floyd Trem it works perfectly but I had to file the locking clamps at the nut because they were so tight they weren't seating properly & didn't stay in tune...

A slight upgrade 2 : I adjusted the string alignment on the fretboard by loosening the neck bolts then realigning the neck to center the strings then lowered the action & tuned a halfstep down , installed FU-Tone Black noiseless tension springs & adjusted the 2 screws at the claw to level out the tremolo bridge on the body... This Guitar plays very well & stays in perfect tune a little upgrade goes a long way, this was a fun project...
