Upgrading your acoustic guitar ..... the one you already have!

Coolcat

Want to upgrade your acoustic guitar? If you have the available finance, then go for it - purchase another one.

However, there is another alternative - upgrade the one you already have. I found this very informative Youtube video. With minimal outlay and a little forethought, you can upgrade the guitar you already have!

Let us know what you think of it.

I didn't get much further either.

Coolcat, the gist was to changes the nut and saddle (if it's not bone/tusq)?

I had a three (nylon) acoustics setup with bone nuts and saddles - not sure it was worth the effort on two of them, one did benefit though. The guitars without much tone didn't change much, the one with a bit of tone, "improved" - sustain and decay increased a bit.

Probably the same for steel stringers - some guitars are worth the effort , others not.
