This weekend I walked into my local shop and got suckered into buying an Epi Gold Top on the cheap. They made me a deal I couldn't refuse, and the guitar played really nicely. Sounded good.
Now, I got it home and I'm wondering if "upgrading" it is worth it. I've been reading about putting in new pots/caps and/or new pickups. Problem is...I would have to pay someone to do the work, as I am completely incapable.
So...what say you? Leave the stock Epi as is, and love that I have a cheap rocker OR pay for some upgrades?
If you opt for upgrades, which do you recommend and how much should I expect to pay someone to do them for me?
