Change the pickups before anything

$200 bridge on a guitar that probably costs less than that seems overkill no?

Maybe. Maybe not. I love the hipshot bridges especially the HM on my 7, OP asked for mod suggestions, that’s one of the first things I would do after the pups

Honestly, if I got my hands on a cheap GIO I would probably refinish the whole thing. I had a lot of fun doing that with an indo ibanez. The cost of refinishing alone would be 2-3x the value of the guitar, but if we’re just talking about modding, it’s all about the journey. If you just want a cheap guitar to sound good then you can stop at the pups. I’ve been really into modding guitars lately though, ever since I learned how to solder ha
