    Your guitar and all, but don't you ****ing dare!

    Leave it as is. Change the knobs if you want - something black:

    1. reflector top hats with the gold insert, like astrozombie pointed out
    2. same without the insert
    3. black speed knobs
    4. witch hat knobs with gold insert and writing, if you can find them for the pots it has

    In any case, wicked score! Love it.

    Ultimate changes would be a Vintage RS Guitarworks wiring kit. Switchcraft toggle and jack. Slide a pair of Double Cream Pearly Gates or Antiquities in it. Hardware is not in bad shape at all. Ben Chafin bone nut for sure.

    Unbranded Grover type tuners basically. Holding tune well too.

    Echotones are nice guitars, especially that Aztec Gold and the red Customs, both long out of production.
