Strat Guitar Mods – 20th Anniversary Squier Sunburst

This guitar started as a free pickup from Facebook Marketplace. After some love and work, it’s back in action. I cleaned it up, installed a new faceplate, replaced the aux input jack, swapped out the bridge, and strung it with brand-new strings. It's a 20th Anniversary Squier Stratocaster in a classic sunburst finish — a perfect base for future mods and experiments.

Custom-Built Strat – Triple Humbucker Frankenstrat

This Strat-style guitar is a one-of-a-kind build I put together entirely from scratch. The body is (probably) from a Stagg, paired with an Encore neck — both salvaged from different sources. Inside, it’s wired with three humbuckers and a 5-way switch for maximum tonal versatility. The pickups are a mystery — pulled from a box of unbranded humbuckers — but they deliver a punchy, raw tone that’s perfect for experimenting. The middle and bridge cavities were hand-sanded to make room, and I designed and 3D-printed custom humbucker covers to complete the look. It’s a little funky, a little rough, but so cool.
