Any help would be greatly appreciated. Want to try the Super 88's first...then I might think about modding this guitar to another Garcia guitar. Would this be a guitar that one should worry about preserving as vintage....thoughts?What do you need?
jester536 wrote:What do you need?Thanks man. I've got an MC200(right handed)...the top edge of the pickups has 2 screws. Each pickup is missing the screw on the front corner. Both pickups are tilting back quite a bit. I'm assuming that screw will correct that. All of them are looking a bit old and rusty. Would probably like to switch them all out. Could just go to a hardware store and hope for the best but would like to find if there is a place to purchase replacements. the pickup selector switch is a little "funny"...wouldn't mind replacing that...again with something authentic.
I might be able to help you out
