my old Sony phone used to have a timed message feature. For example, I'd type something like "I'm home babe" before going home and set it to send an hour after I think I'll arrive. that's one hour of eating and practice, and you won't ever "forget"!

Making your old guitar strings(bottom/thick strings) sound fresh again to make it sound Bright/"Twangy"/"Grindy"/"Snappy"/"Djenty" or whatever you describe it. 

I've watched a facebook video before, it's actually for bass guitar tips to make pop and slap sound alive again, but I still gave it a try and it works!
Just loosen the string about 6-8 half turns, then pluck hard the loose string for about 10x.
Tighten and tune the string, repeat the steps for the remaining bottom strings.
There you go, muddy string tone is gone.

Note:
1. It doesn't apply to higher/unwounded strings, just wipe the dust and rust, you don't want to break it.
2. I suggest you plug and listen first to your guitar before doing this to appreciate it more.

Don't know if meron ng gumawa neto pero na try ko lang kagabi, if you want to change the color of your pickup rings from black to something else without spending too much and/or looking for something that'll fit your guitar, use masking tape to cover your original pickup rings, 2 layers would be fine to almost make it a mild cream color(depending on the masking tape color of course), and if you want a different color, just use water color or marker/stabilo to color the tape, spray clear coat if you want, everything is reversible if you want to get to the stock look of your guitar just strip off the tape.

[gandydancer123]

Ayos to ah. Ok siguro kung medyo transparent paint/ink para kita yung texture tapos clearcoat, ang ganda nun! Pero ang tanong, pano gagawing malinis yung pag tape?
