I'm ok with buying a pick guard.. What I'll do is take everything apart and buy the new plug and then practice on the pick guard that I already have to see if I can make it work first. If I can get the strat style plug to work on it then I'll make those changes to my new one. I'll try some of that other stuff on the neck to see if it takes care of that grip problem. One more thing.. Would it just be easier to buy a new bridge for it that won't tear up my hand or try and find the right saddles for the one that is on there? I've never done anything like this before so I'm pretty un-educated about what I should do on this one. It doesn't have to be fancy, I just want it to be fixed (non-floating) and smooth so when I palm mute it doesn't tear my hand up from the screws or other parts sticking up/out of it. I also don't want a piece of crap either.. Thanks, -Allistah

Hello everyone.. I have a Fender Prodigy. It plays fine but there are four things that I don't like about it that I would like to fix. 1) The pick guard is black. I want a white pearl one. What is a good place to get a replacement? What should I expect to pay? 2) The audio cable jack plugs straight into the guitar and when you have it plugged in it sticks straight out. Can I mod this somehow so it plugs in at an angle like a Strat? Has anyone done this before? I'm a pretty handy with tools and not afraid to tackle something like this. Any idea where I would begin on this one? 3) The original saddles on the bridge have these little allen screws that stick up and tear my palm up when I'm palm muting. I tend to not play the guitar long because of this. Do I just need to buy new saddles? (The bridge is locked down btw, it's not floating) 4) The back side neck seems really grippy on my hands/fingers. How can I make it so that my hand slides up and down the neck easily? My ESP Signature guitar doesn't have this problem. I'm guessing I can just clean it with something that will restore this characteristic. If I could get pointed in the right direction on these things, I sure would appreciate it. :-) Thanks! -Allistah
