I will modify my two squier guitars... I'll change the neck, tunners, pots and pickups... but I'm also considering to change the bridge... is that important having a good bridge or it's ok to keep the one the guitars bring with them? Also... any other suggestions? hehe

Better to buy a new guitar, a better one. Sell your Squier. Don't put money on that Squier.

the problem is that I don't want to do it! I prefer to modify my actual guitars...

A bridge can change the tone of a guitar radically. When I took off a GFS bridge on a Squier guitar (CV 50) and put the stock bridge back on, the guitar sounded completely different. The GFS was clearer across the tonal spectrum and over powered the cheap wood of the CV 50, the Squier bridge emphasized the mids and highs and "sounded" better to me on that body, so I left the stock bridge on.

It all adds up and every little bit counts when it comes to finding the holy grail of tones!

It is up to you , but it is, IMO an error to put money on this guitar.
