Hey,
Just became the happy new owner of a 1971 S90. It sounds incredible! I'm used to strats and having that convenience of the volume and tone (but mostly volume) at a much more accessible location for quick volume changes and swells especially. Is it sacrilegious to cut a new hole and move the volume knob closer to where I play? The guitar already has some mods on it so not too worried about originality in a sense but also don't want to destroy my chances of worth if I wanna sell it some day. has the current s100 saddles, schaller bridge, other 70s gibson tuners, input jack replaced and is cracked along there, knobs are not original, pickups are original but missing pickup covers, nut replaced. Might get it refretted as well. Also anything to watch out for on refrets from these types of guitars?
Thanks
Steve
