picked up a 1403 on ebay. sounds great! Any thoughts or advise on going electric? Thanks in advance. By the way, Great web site! - robodeo - 2010-09-07
Update on the H1403. reamed out the pegholes and replaced the tuners with a more modern set(ones with bushings). Also replaced the wooden tailpiece with a goldtone metal trapeze. Just these minor changes has made an incredible difference in the tone of the guitar. The sustain is absolutely remarkable. More updates later. Oh yeah, forget going electric for now. Maybe a Fishman bridge transducer pickup in the future.
