Hi all,
I picked up a a 95 silhouette special sss in green pearl from craigslist. It seems to be a solid guitar, love the feel of the neck and how the guitar resonates unplugged. The pickups are a very warm woody tone I'd expect from a good vintage strat.
A few questions:
- The bridge has some rust and the seller wasn't sure if it might soon need to be replaced. Are there any aftermarket bridges / trem assemblies you recommend?
- The guitar pickups are single coil. If I wanted to upgrade the bridge to a humbucker, would I have to modify the body? I've read mixed information on this forum and wouldn't want to do anything if I had to route the body.
- Any other mods, tips, and tricks you would recommend with this guitar?
Thanks!
