Hey Tim? I'm piggybacking on you to give my two cents worth to Brian (Hi, Brian!):

I wouldn't modify the electronics of a Smith, period, no matter how old it was, unless it was a Ken Smith-sanctioned & approved modification (now, admittedly this is from a man who waited almost 11 years to own a Ken Smith!). Even if he sanctioned a mod, I'd want him to do it.

Nope. I'd leave a Smith -a Smith. If I want another sound, I'll just buy whatever axe it is that makes that sound. I wanted a Smith because I so desparately wanted the "Smith" sound.

That's my two cents, and thanks for listening!

Couldn't have said it better.

Would you buy a Ferrari and replace the engine with one from a Ford Escort?

I thought not.

A Smith is a Smith and should remain a Smith,IMO

wow! smith is smith.. unchangeable.. mm.. hey.. do you guys know the smith BT that patitucci used on his video lesson.. it isn't 3 knobs or 5knobs.. but only 4knobs? i see it so familiar like the burner series.. that's the first time i saw smith.. the find out...because the tone is so unique and so clarity,
i fell in love with smith at that time...the BT body shape and the sound. after years.. i finally got one ..
