I bought this recently and for the neck dive, all you need to do is get anti slip strap. I only replaced the tuning keys to black color and the vol/tone caps to black as well. now this guitar looks killer and the pups are awesome for metal.
Nice picking! Did a great job, just need to work a bit on the Metallica tone.

0:25 Protip: Don't squirt the fret oil all over the fretboard like that 'cos it might go inside the fret seams and loosen the frets 😱 It's better to apply it to a cloth and wipe it with that 👌 Also, why did wanna change the bridge and the tuners? Other than the loose bolt, u didn't say there was anything wrong with the bridge? And u said the tuners are great 4:56 🤔 I do know a lot of guitarists will automatically change the tuners (and pickups) everytime they buy a guitar, lol... 😓
