Can a Grote Jazz Hollowbody Guitar be overhauled to sound better? How about adding a new set of tuners, a new P-90 pickup, new volume and tone potentiometers with an orange drop tone capacitor and a new rosewood saddle? In this video I do all of those modifications and record sound samples along the way. You decide which P-90 pickup you like best!
