Author Message   Ar300 Username: Ar300 Registered: 12-2006 Posted on Monday, June 18, 2007 - 10:38 am:    Hello. I own a well beaten '81 AR-300. The guitar sounds really goos and itīs usuable through a Fender Pro.There is some gold rods missing (the ones who support the cloud tailpiece).It has a non original pot(ner MIJ one).I was thinking about: 1-Replacing Super '58s pickups whith something like a Wolfetone Dr. V or Seth Lover/Classic ī57. I like tri-sound however and not sure if this pickups would work well with this system. Or maybe rewind the originals to keep the value 2-Getting new golden rods(NOS prefeable,but new would be OK id fit). 3-As far as the backs is beat and there are some areas where finish is left I was wondering about a refin' in nitro(poliuretane finish seems very thick).CS is stock finish. 4-Getting an Ibanez case (NOS prefeareable but not sure if any avalaible). The guitar sounds really good as is and I donīt want to ruin that.Please give some tuition about this. Thanks in advance.   Tbplayer Username: Tbplayer Registered: 4-2007 Posted on Monday, June 18, 2007 - 12:08 pm:    well, tone is subjective. i'd keep the tri-sounds. i'm clueless as to "the golden rods" my 2617's cloud is held on with 3 screws into the body. an artist case, you can get from a dealer. you must not be in the states as nitro is banned here. i think the original finish is poly. besides a well used piece has character.
