Alright, so I really like this Stratocaster, I plan on keeping it for, well, the rest of my life.

I wanna make it mine, like really mine. I'm planning on having the "Squier Series" logo redone, only with the original Japanese 1982 logo, but in Maui Blue to match the guitar. (previous owners sanded off the logo) I'd like to scrap the sealed Gotoh tuners for Klusons and have all the holes filled. I'd like to maybe track down a fully brass Fender "The Strat" bridge from the Smith era and retrofit it to the guitar. If not, I'd like to find a set of 6 brass Tele saddles and work them onto the original 1992 bridge.

I'm thinking of getting a Stratoblaster jack plate and putting a different effect in it. (Because $@!& 9volts in.my guitar) I'm not sure what kind of effect, but definitely a mini toggle.

I'm aslo thinking of the red button kill switch in the 3rd pot positon.

These are all ideas, I'm open to suggestions. And this is something that'll happen far into the future, after the Guild is fixed.
