Hi,
First of all: great forum!
I have a question: I recently bought a goldstarsound ST-40 (olympic White; Final prospec; replaced tuners; 3ply guard; 6 digits serial number, 1984/85?). At first i was very happy, but after hearing back a tape of our band it sounded thin to me, though it plays like butter (very smooth maple neck). After reading more about it i realise the St-40 is the low end model. I'm now thinkin about replacing the pick-ups to improve the sound.
Does anyone have experience with new pick-ups on an ST-40. Is the ST-40, though low end, still considered very good? Is it worth spending money on new pickups for an ST-40, or is the guitar itself not good enough?)
thnx in advance, greeting Rutger
