Dramatically changes the sound of the instrument (for the better in my opinion). Makes it more open, twangy and a lot less tubby sounding. Obviously a good set up is needed and the bridge will need to be angled probably to allow for decent intonation but otherwise a very cool mod for not too much cash. You just might like it.
