Upgrading My Jackson JS22-7

In this video I'll show off the upgrades I made to my budget 7-string guitar.

The nice thing about upgrading a cheap guitar is that if you hold onto the stock hardware, you can easily move the upgraded hardware to a newer guitar should you decide you want to get a nicer one. That being said I am quite happy with my Jackson for the time being, as it's a nice looking guitar that's not very heavy and plays well.
