Hi grepico,

I think modding your guitar is one of the best and most fun aspects of owning a guitar. If you put this much time into your Squier, I say you should just go all the way and put some new pickups in there!

It'll be cheaper to put new pickups in that to buy a new strat.

That's my 2 cents!

Also, if you're putting in new pickups, I suggest any of the Fender pickups, or Bareknuckle, or as always Seymour Duncan, can't go wrong!

Best,

Billy
