I don't remember exactly how many combinations you can select that get unique sounds, but it is somewhere around 80.

This is a great grab and go to cover anything situation guitar.
Got a list of potential mods for my st-203: any one else attempted these?
- tusq XL nut
- schaller staggered height tuners (or F branded versions?)
- gotoh/wilkinson vsvg trem

So have you guys and gals attempted any of these, with any degree of desired success?
