It might be dumb but I’m proud of myself. I did this to my off the rack Ibanez AZES40:
- Installed graphite string trees
- installed locking tuners
- polished frets
- moisturized fretboard
- set pickup height
- lowered the action
- intonated
- changed the strings (obviously)
Sounds awesome, what kind of locking tuners did you go with?
