Cheap guitars don't turn into expensive ones with a pickup swap. The rest of the guitar will still be cheap. Cheap wood, cheap hardware. Pickups don't make a guitar expensive. |

He did something to the guitar. I've never seen a fake LTD so I doubt it's fake. The red is added. Maybe they are stickers? |

So here is another question, how would I go about staining a new veneer? Will there be enough wood to stain black and sand back and then color. Or should I just stain it a color and be done with it? |

Well guess nobody has done this. I am probably going to just go for it and see what happens. Worst case scenario I replace the veneer. Will post a thread when this happens. |

It's not real cheap to upgrade a trem to an OFR. They are $200. Both the 470 and 450 came with the Lo TRS Trems which I am not familiar with, but reviews suggest they are not that great. |
