                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[It's an awsome guitar for $99!<br><br><a href="https://www.guitarnoise.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=16&amp;t=44563&amp;start=15">https://www.guitarnoise.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=16&amp;t=44563&amp;start=15</a> Here is a link to my origional thread if anyone wants to take a look.   :mrgreen:  I changed the tuners, bridge, switch, jack and pots plus added strap locks.  The bridge is an upgrade with an improved trem block.  It was like $30 or $35 bucks but I feel it was worth it.  I don't use the trem but I was looking at sustain and quality of the saddles and intonation adjustment.  The Lil Killer pickup is nice too and that was like $25.  The electronics upgrade kit was maybe $15.  The upgrades were not expensive either.  Oh, good luck with your project!]]></content:encoded>

I actually got them from another SX Strat but they are Grovers and are standard size.  I bought an SX Strat with returned beer and soda cans and rebuilt the whole guitar.  It is one of my favorites to play.  I bought all my parts from Guitar Fetish.  My guitar is the red one in BlueJay's picture.]]></content:encoded>
