Nice. This is my $20 Lotus Strat froim a flea market. I repainted it and put in Fender MIM pickups. Incredibly resonant ply body and 2 point trem. It actually came with EMG Selects!

I see you child-proofed the headstock.

I'll string it up and see if it's acoustically viable, and if so, put some {censored}ty pickups from my EPi dot in it. The neck does not feel bad at all..rolled edges, a piece of rosewood on Mahogany. It's a bolt on, so maybe I'll put it on one of my strats to piss some purists off. Will that intonate?

 

It's so sad that you meanez have to rain on my cheap guitar find day. :(

It probably won't intonate, but that does not mean you can't have some fun with your newly-invented scales.

 

Swap necks between the two, string them both up with cheap strings, and leave it that way for a bit. Report the results to us. :)

 

 

PS: I wouldn't bother swapping pickups. If the Epi Special was made in the past 4 or 5 years (look at its serial numbers), I'm willing to bet that the pickups presently in your 10 dollar Epi are the same as your Epi Dot pickups.
