Modding Fender DG-5 Acoustic

CiaranK · 2011-02-08 16:45:29

Hi all, I'm looking to modify my Fender dg-5 acoustic guitar. I know it really isn't the most expensive at all, Paid over €200 for it about 8 years ago. I have since gotten a better one but I still always go back to the fender. I'm thinking of getting new tuners maybe putting a pick-up on it. I know nothing about modding…

Hi all,

I'm looking to modify my Fender dg-5 acoustic guitar. I know it really isn't the most expensive at all, Paid over €200 for it about 8 years ago. I have since gotten a better one but I still always go back to the fender. I'm thinking of getting new tuners maybe putting a pick-up on it. I know nothing about modding guitars so where would a good place to start be? I don't want to effect the sound of it or do anything too drastic because it was my first guitar. Any help would be appreciated.

Ciarán.

I would say slap a set of new tuners on it, and if you want a pickup get one of these types that just clip on http://www.jhs.co.uk/guitar%20tech/D8.jpg

I did this with a guitar I love and it now sounds great.
