So, I get asked a lot "Hey Jack, what is the first thing I should do to my Squier / Epiphone / Import to make it sound better?" Well, lately I have been buying a lot of surplus, factory second, etc guitars and I thought instead of just setting them to stock, I would do the first mods for you!
This is the famed Adam Lavine signature 222 First Act. I have modded out a few of these because they have solid maple bodies and usually play really well. A lot of people scoff at First Act, but tbh in my experience they are solid guitars with a few adjustments.
I added:
- GFS Super Distortion
- Orange Drop Capacitor
- Vintage Style Cupcake Knobs
- A good, pro set up
- Stringjoy strings
As always, I cleaned it up, polished the finish, flushed the electronics, changed the strings and set the action low and comfy. This guitar does not come with a gig bag or case, but I pack my guitars up tight and insure every package for the full sale amount.
Got questions? Shoot me a message, I love nerding out with other gearheads!
