Hello gang,

I have a LH Squier Standard Strat and i'm thinking of upgrading pickups. I'm looking at the Vintage Noiseless set that includes new control pots. Has anyone done anything like this on a Squier? Should I upgrade the 5-way switch as well? This will be my first 'surgery' on a guitar.

Thanks for your help

If the switch is working okay there is no reason to change it, unless you just want to put a better switch in it.

Yes, it is worth changing pickups in the Squire. I have a Squire and a MIM Standard Strat. I replaced the pickups in the Standard with noiseless and put the original Standard pickups in the squire. I swear the Squire sounds as good as the Standard! The Squire is not "thin" anymore. Be sure to get real pickups though. I got ripped off on e-bay with a guy selling Fender pickguards fitted with Fender pickups and custom wiring. Sure it was Fender...it was the Affinity Squire setup! No difference.
Good luck!
Charles
