guitar project opinion
i am posting this because i would like to get some opinions on this idea. well i have posted here before and i own 2 guitars, a fender starcaster which wasnt the greatest investment and an epiphone les paul custom which was a lovely birthday present from my girlfriend. so now i just play on the les paul, but i got this other guitar doing nothing. now i was wondering if i should possibly make this a project guitar? i have taken it apart considering it isnt a huge investment and i want to paint it and put new pickups in and buy a neck off ebay, like a jackson neck or something. i was thinking of getting this prewired david gilmour set with emgs and a strat pickguard since it is like a strat only with a different neck. is this something worth investing into? i want to cuz hey, who wouldnt? i would appreciate any kind of input on what i should do. thank you in advance

It depends on the underlying quality of the body and the total cost of the upgrades. Sometimes the upgrades cost more than just buying a better guitar. I would look at getting lower cost hardware from Guitar Fetish. Remember that you never get your money back on upgrades when you sell a guitar. You could also consider turning your axe into a slide guitar.

That is a good point. I wouldn't think that I would be selling it anytime soon but then again, if I need the money, then yeah. It's either that or just upgrade the les paul I have with better pickups but I don't know, lol. I do appreciate the input though.
