What are a few inexpensive ( I have around a $200 budget) mods for my Squier Bullet Strat that will help me personalize it more?

Well then how about a launch pad? Everyone should be able to probe deep space whilst shredding.

Well then perhaps you could try making it a bunk-guitar. It would give you more room for activities.

Bottle rocket launcher... True story... Not my guitar though. :lol:

Seriously though, new pickups would make the biggest difference out of any changes I can think of. Cosmetically, a new pickguard is always nice. And if you do the pickups and the pickguard all at once, it just makes it that much easier. :)

I see it now.... Intorducing the new cool SMEGOCASTER!

Seriously though... a trip to a good repair luthier to have your nut slot depth checked and cut properly, along with proper truss rod, intonation and string height adjustments, would be a better idea.

An after market bridge may be a little harder to find than you'd think. Squier's use metric measurements and the body of Bullets and Affinities are thinner than a Standard Squier or Fender. So the bridge blocks of a MIM spec bridge will not fit, it'll stick out in the back. Is your guitar a hardtail? If so, that would be a moot question.
