Modded SX furrian p90 neck, plays amazing

[Timwaldvogel]

I just got this about 2 weeks ago and I just replaced the bridge pickup with a MIM tele pickup which has much more balls than the typical brass plate tele pickups. This one is plastic I believe. It keeps twang though without the craziness of the twang, also I must have 500k pots for the p90 so the stock pickup was pretty out of control with the brightness.
I replaced the neck pickup with a 60's dog eat p90 that I shuffled part from the stock pickup on to get it to fit in the soapbar case.
The pickups are 8.25k (p90) and 10.3 k on the MIM bridge. So much more balanced than the stock pickup.
Changed the saddles to Gfs rollers and the tuners to wilkinson ez locks like the ones that come on reverend guitars. Thought I put them on backward on accident so I'll fix that tomorrow

Nice! I was thinking of getting the single coil $100 Furrian. Are the stock nut and tuners that bad that they need to be replaced?

[Timwaldvogel]

Tuners no, though they are quite sensitive. Barely turn them and they go up, hard to fine tune.
The nut is not so bad, but I'd replace the bridge saddles. When you double check the intonation they will start to rattle.
The roller saddles at GFS are great quality
I also just ordered new string trees cause I personally never trust the stamped ones. I have had problems with burs on other guitars that cause string breakage all too often. Also teu LOOK cheap. So I bought some American fender trees and I the wilkinson tuners for fender headstocks also help take pressure off the string trees with the elongated poles.
After this little work on a 120$ guitar and 100$ worth of parts this thing plays better than most Americans I've picked up in GC
