Nashville TOM instead of the original ABR-1 TOM.

A lot of people, myself included, prefer the Nashville TOM bridge since it's got the inserts in the body for the posts and is more stable compared to the posts just going straight into the body top on the ABR-1.
I've got an '04 faded/worn cherry Musician's Fiend Exclusive "Vintage Mahogany" LP Studio. Plays and feels fine to me, no issues... except the rosewood board was a little dry and needed some lemon oil. The BurstBucker Pro (Alnico V) pups were even very nice, but I chose to put in EMGs (85 bridge and chrome 81 25th anniversary neck), changed out the tailpiece for the fine-tuning TP6. I love this guitar, the matte satin nitro lacquer finish feels great. It was a great deal, IMO, at the $899 price they had it for. It was originally $999, then $899, then dropped to $799 briefly, now it's $849. LOL Those bastards can't make up their mind on one set price.
