hmmm intonation I can do possibly ( i usually get frustrated), the truss rod is something i have yet to learn....... crap
* another random question that I've looked around but have yet to find an answer to, is why my trem arm doesn't stay in... if i lean forward it falls out, so i push it in and it stays in this one position and if you move it to much it just hangs there and swings around wildly (so i haven't used it much for that reason i usually resort to my palm pressing on the unit)
While I'm toying with the tone knob I'm going to go through and find a good setting on the AD-15 of mine, because it seems really sensitive to where the knobs are...

If you've never adjusted the truss rod before then please read as much as you can about it or go to a guitar shop.
You don't want to over do it as you may damage the rod.
General rule of thumb, only do 1/4 turns.
Changing the pots sounds like an awesome suggestion too.
Try all of these things before investing in a new pickup.
AVRI pickups sound great as they are imho!
Strings; GHS or D'Addario.

I'll defiantly leave the truss rod to the pros, i don't wanna ruin my fav guitar!!
well i sat down and reset the setting on my amp and messed around with he tone control A LOT, and I must say you guys are geniuses. I remember i sat down one day a long time ago with my strat and just gave up on playing with the tone control, and I've messed with it before but i don't remember it being so useful as i found it today. I still think im going to pick a new set of thicker strings. I was thinking of maybe giving the D'addario chromes a shot again...
