I Just want some help from some more experienced fender users, because I love the vintage styles, and i love clear guitars. I came up with this sort of rare find. Plus this is my first guitar mod

Straight from the seller, it was $200, I planned to make this much better than $200, all i cared for was the body anyways. So far i have spent quite a bit of money on it, and i plan to spend even more. I play with a band for fun and this will be my guitar to play.

Even though this is my first, i have years of experience from playing, and i am rather smart with modding electronics, so i thought i'd do well with this.

This is what it looked like out of the box

How it looks now

Lace sensor, arrived defective, but i managed to open it up and fix it. Was simple as soldering a loose wire.
Image

Should i replace the bridge? This happened when adjusting the action.
Image

I plan to drill the holes for the pickguard, since about half of them don't match up. Should i be drilling into acrylic? I have experience with drills. Also, how should i drill this?
Image

Neck seemed thick compared to my poop starcaster, i believe this lead to why my starcaster is capable of lower action, and this guitar isn't.
Image

Lowest action i could achieve, how can i get it lower? I was thinking about buying a neck, but i dont' want to buy a wrong one.
Image

Do the springs matter where they hook on? I typically see them all towards the middle.

Showing off the clear

Should i get a new neck for it? It seems to be cheap, and i think it messes with the action because i can't get it too low, but a decent height. Although my starcaster is capable of lower action. I also believe it messes with the high E string, it makes a weird noise when plucked, like harmonics.

If i should get a new neck, which should i get? And where should i get it?
