I added a knockoff Duesenberg trem on mine (made by Guyler and off Amazon) and its an amazing upgrade. Im considering swapping the pickups out but they sound decent as-is.
I wish I had sat on it and waited for the price drops but it would have been hard not to pick it up even at the previous low prices
The only thing I'd watch out for on these guitars is the electronics. The pickup selectors on mine was little wonky. If you're handy with a soldering iron and can read a wiring diagram, the part is less than $20. That said, these are also wonderful for modding. You can swap out the Broadtrons (leans classic PAF sound) for some Blacktop Filtertrons (~$60 per set) to get that classic Gretsch chimey sparkle.
