Preamp Question

Sure would be great if you could upgrade the electronics... but I didn't see anything specific. Has anyone tried this? Do you have to replace the internals as well?

Don't have a clue concerning the Applause models. alpep Posted 2005-12-05 6:46 PM (#127275 - in reply to #127272) Subject: Re: Preamp Question Joined: December 2001 Posts: 10581 Location: NJ you would need to call bloomfield and ask for someone who handles applause parts and they may be able to help you. cliff Posted 2005-12-05 7:05 PM (#127276 - in reply to #127272) Subject: Re: Preamp Question Joined: March 2002 Posts: 14842 Location: NJ With the costs (and hassles) involved, you'd probably be better served by just upgrading to a US guitar . . .
