Hey guys, I recently picked up a new Epi ES335 Pro and while it plays quite nicely, I think there are bits that could well be upgraded to make it sound a bit better and be ready for gigging (if we ever get back to it!).
So...where to start? The nut is definitely going to be up for the chop as this one seems very plasitcky...bone? Then I wonder about the bridge and tailpiece (Faber? Others?), but which ones/ how much should I spend here? Then after this I reckon maybe electrics and pickups down the line? Any recommendations?
I'm not looking to spend a fortune, just make a good quality and good sounding guitar. It definitely feels like it needs a bit of 'livening up' if that makes sense? Anyone done similar?

I’m led to believe just changing the bridge and tailpiece makes a sizeable difference, especially with aluminium. Did you find that?
I did consider that, but I'm really shallow and like the look of covered humbuckers! Maybe I'll give it a try fist and see what happens.
I usually get them from @Alegree , his are excellent.
New pickups and harness definitely, but no what idea what is an upgrade that fits for the hardware.
Been uploading old tracks I recorded ages ago and hopefully some new noodles here.
I'm hating them clean but just got a Box of Rock and they sing with those.
Still going to be swapped for some OX4s though!
