LTD EC100QM - Worth upgrading?
LTD EC100QM - Worth upgrading?
I have a viper 50 that I went ahead and put an 85 and an 81 in and I'll tell you they made all the difference in the world. I have a viper 400 as well that came with seymour duncans in it and I have trouble choosing which one want to play sometimes. I'd say that it's worth it but I'd also say buy viper 400 or 500at least. you won't regret it one bit.
oh absolutely. when you upgrade to the ec 500 you'll notice the thickness of the guitar's sound. if you want to get the other guitar later and get pick ups now I'd say go for it. more variety for you.
That's kind of what I was thinking.
In response to the $200 pups in a $250 guitar thing - there are some hums that got great reviews on Harmonycentral made by a brand called Dragonfire that are modelled after EMG 81's that you can get for about $30-35. I was really considering those.
I got the pups on my viper since I had some extra money and thought of putting them on my viper 400 since it came with seymour duncans but I ended up just putting a coil tap on it and switching the bridge pickup. it's makes the guitar sound great if you change em up but I would suggest you get at least the 400 series.

Coil tap in a viper? You lucky lucky man >:[
Hi, I have a electric guitar, which is a budget one and i am looking to upgrade it.
Could you guys tell me which guitar parts shall i upgrade first?
P.S. - I can't afford to upgrade the whole guitar at one go.
Nethan, I'd recommend saving up money until you can afford to upgrade the entire guitar. You'll end up with a better, and more valuable, product in the end.
That being said, if you're still set on upgrading what you have, identify what you're least pleased with and start there. Are you having trouble staying in tune? Replace the tuners and the bridge. Are you displeased with the sound? Replace the pickups (or the amp). Is there a scratchy sound every time you touch one of the knobs? Replace the electronics...
But really, the best investment anyone can make to sound better is to take lessons and practice.
yeah, Its worth upgrading if you get actives. passives wont really do anything about the sound of agathis.
