umm you could change the pups, the knobs (to chrome, aged etc) or maybe do what i did on a squire i used to own and remore maybe the neck and middle pups if they are unused

Mine is by default black and white. I think it looks sweet. :wink:

One of the easiest ways I like to customize my guitars is by using stickers. One on the front usually, and one on the back. Makes the guitar look a bit more unique and one of a kind. Asl long as its a heavy polyurethane finish, you can remove the stickers without hurting the finish if you get tired of it after awhile...

I have been thinking about doing that. How can you tell it is a polyurethane finish though?

If your guitar looks or feels like its covered in hard candy, than its most likely polyurethane. Sounds weird, but that was the first thing that popped into my head as to how to explain it. If you are wondering about your Squier, I am pretty sure its got the polyurethane finish, so stick away...

Here's some inspiration:
One of the stickers on my Jagmaster:

Here's one of my Teles (back):

Same Tele (front):

Another Tele:

See how the light or flash reflects back on the finish? Thats another way to tell you got polyurethane.
