Thought I'd give and update on my Washburn MG-42. (seeing as this thread is now second in google when searching for the guitar!). I have a thread on changing the pickups here. I decided to upgrade rather then sell.
A tech has replaced the awful Washburn licenced trem with a Goto 1996t Floyd Rose. I've replaced both pickups with Iron Gear Steam Hammers. I've put in a new switch, volume pot, coil tapped both pickups and replaced the volume and control knobs. It's been a great way to learn about guitar wiring.
I'm so glad I didn't sell it. The trem is a vast improvement, it stays in tune for starters. The brass trem block gives more sustain, it sounds warm and alive played unplugged. The pickups are beefy with high gain.The neck is of course great to play, wide, shallow with huge frets. The upgrades have brought the guitar to it's full potential.
The only problem I've got is some humming, which disappears when I turn the tone pot down. I didn't replace the tone pot and cap, perhaps it needs doing, or maybe my grounding and soldering is a bit amateurish.
No Idea I'm afraid, it was in there when I got it
