I bought one of this and I did the same thing. It was unplayable with original parts. I had tuning issues even using a wilkinson bridge and graphtech nut but I;ve got good results after I took the string guide off. I have Guitar madness pickups and locking tuners on this.
That's a beautiful guitar honestly.
The pups sound ok.

I"ll take a Harley Benton with stainless steel frets and better specs all while being cheaper over any epiphone or squire.
