I had a Player Precision as backup to my US Precisions, I also used it for overseas gigs and kept it in Germany for a while. When I got it I thought I`d have to change the pickup but was very pleasantly surprised with how good it was, no change needed. I think I kept everything on it stock aside from putting a Hipshot triple string retainer on in place of the traditional string tree, to add better stability to the A string.
