Temelki Posted Saturday at 12:56 AM Share Posted Saturday at 12:56 AM Hi guys, I have a 1981 Phoenix (Tokai-made) 335 copy that my wife bought me 20 years ago. It is a remarkable guitar in terms of build quality and playability and for sentimental reasons I will never part with it. So I'm going to upgrade it and get it as close to the "real thing" as I can. I found the pickups I want but do you guys have any suggestions for what other electronics I will need to change? I'm changing the pots but do you think it needs new capacitors too?? sorry I'm not that techy when it comes to the guts of the guitar.

What brand of stuff, don’t have a clue, but others might. Edited yesterday at 04:31 AM by Sgt. Pepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted 14 hours ago Share Posted 14 hours ago Will a new capacitor make any difference? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
