I did some things to get it to sound better
-Stock bridge is too heavy , I replaced it with a Hofner or a ebony archtop
-pickups are weak , needs to be remagnetized or given to Novak and get rewound ,repotted and remagnatized
-tailpiece is too heavy and doesnt allow 34inch scale strings to be used , I made a tail/strap pin that allows 34" strings
Personally if I was going to use mine everyday , I would replace the stock pickups with some mini humbuckers
I have some Vintage Vibe that would work really well too
If anyone needs one I have a spare Coronado pickup
Thanks
