Hey guys,

I walked into a music shop today and walked out with this. The pickguard looks to be changed and the tuners are the planet waves locking, or something like that.

I love it.

I am thinking of definitely switching the guard and the keys to some Fender tuning keys.

Sorry about that. Just excited to get it home.

I need some help on some things. After taking it apart I noticed the person who had it before me added a warmoth pickguard. Its gross looking so it will go. The thing that gets me is the pickups seem to be marked LH. Does this mean left hand? I am thinking of grabbing some new pickups for it and am just wondering.

I also wanna get rid of the planet waves locking keys. I wanna find some Fender keys. From what I have researched I will need to buy left handed keys. Is this correct?

And finally I may change the saddles. Any suggestions?

Nice Hendrix Vibe there!

LH means left hand most likely, pole pieces are calibrated heightwise for the different string thicknesses.

Since its a reverse headstock, you need to invest in lefty tuners. Planet Waves have the cool locking thing with the cutters, but I actually prefer the Vintage Styel tuners....
