Squier Stratocaster Upgrade Plans Mk 1
Hi all,
How are we? I've got a Squier Affinity strat in need of some love. The neck on it is a tad thin for my taste. Also, I don't want to take my Warmoth Tele to gigs, it's worth far too much sentimentally to me to risk having it broken or stolen. So this is the plan for the strat:
- New neck: Made by B Hefner. SRV back contour, 12" radius, Pao Ferro fretboard, vintage tint nitro finish.
- New pickguard: I've already got this, it's red pearl. (Think Doyle Bramhall's red strat
) - New pickups. ATM, it has Tonerider City Limits pickups in it at the moment. I'm going to put in something more vintage. I'm thinking either Tonerider Vintage pickups, Fender Vintage Noiseless (good for gigs in venues with shit grounding) or maybe taking another page out of DBII's book and going for some Van Zandt Vintage Plus pickups. Opinions on any of these?
- Locking Gotoh vintage tuners. Can anyone say ?
- Guitar Fetish replacement trem system. The Squier one is average...
Will have pics as I get things happening.
