Members NITEFLY182 Posted April 5, 2006 Members Share Posted April 5, 2006 I wouldnt change a thing. Supersonics are awesome right out of the box. The pickups and hardware are decent and they play great. Just ask Omar... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just ask Omar... sorry, but i don't agree.scratchy pots, loose knobs...maybe they've improved since the years that my friend bought his, but this one is a lame duck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NITEFLY182 Posted April 5, 2006 Members Share Posted April 5, 2006 my solution would be contact cleaner and a pair of pliars. Seriously If you want to spend money replace the tuners and bridge with good american made parts. Get a bone nut and clean the whole thing up. Put some seymour duncan fat cats in it and then build in a phase 90. Then youd have a sweet noise rock axe befitting that shape and era in rock history.

Members GuyaGuy Posted April 5, 2006 Members Share Posted April 5, 2006 as long as the neck plays nicely and there aren't any gross mistakes like a misaligned bridge or something, most cheapies can be made into rockers. because everything else is replaceable. phat cats or GFS 90s are a good idea. then again, i dislike HBs. in any case most cheapies have awful ceramic magnet pups which, thanks to GFS and Mighty Mite, can be replaced for a song. or even just one verse of a song!
