Hi! I'm looking for two specific type of parts for my 2017 Squire Affinity Jazzmaster. First of all I've been searching the internet for a gold hardtail bridge. Cant find anything anywhere really that fits the 4 screw holes..

And I'm also looking for a blacked neck and headstock.

Thank you!

Sounds like you need to buy a chrome plated version and have it stripped and dipped(gold plated) to your specs locally. May be the only option.

OK, basics first. An Affinity Jazzmaster (HH) costs somewhere around 200$£€, so think about the mod costs (parts, materials & labor) versus that.

I think this bridge (Gotoh GTC101G) would be relatively easy to fit (might need plugging & redrilling the existing screw holes, plus of course a full setup, possibly including shimming the neck):

The Gotoh site has a technical dimensions drawing, if you want to compare.
The price is around 60$£€ for the bridge, I'd guess starting from about 100$£€ for the work if done by a pro.

A 'blacked' (back and headstock painted black..?) Jazzmaster neck; that thing does not exist as a spare part. So, the easiest way is to paint the current neck. Done by a pro, with new decals, probably starting somewhere around 250$£€ if done by a pro. DIY costs depend on what (tools, materials) you have already.

So, you'd end up with investing quite a lot of money (from about 150 to above 500...) to mods which won't really raise the guitar's resale value at all, and the guitar's playability & sound remain the same.
I would certainly not, but suggestions above if you go ahead.
