Location: California | The square op24+ would be replaced with op30/op40. Is it true modifying fibreglass body more difficult than wood? About How much $$ for op30 parts only? Any other comments appreciated. |

Location: GATLINBURG TENNESSEE :) | As far as hole modification is concerned, it obviously depends on what you're replacing and with what, and how confident you are in your ability to use a Dremmel Tool. I use that Dremmel Tool with the extendable tool snake and the endless supply of bits (cutting disks, router bits, sanding drums, etc.) You need to have a good eye and the ability to precisely mark your cutting area. I don't consider it a difficult thing, but I would probably recommend that most people leave it up to the pros. If you're not 100% sure you could do it, don't. |

Location: Warren,Pa. | I had a guitar with the rectangular preamp and asked Kim what it would cost to put an Op pro in it. He told me they hadn't figured out how to do that yet. That was a year ago. They may have figured it out by now, but if the service dept. didn't know what to do at that point I would imagine it would be a risky thing for one of us to try on our own. John <>{ |

Must I be Einstein to upgrade preamps?
