NGD: Squier California Series Stratocaster! Named this one Alvin.

[GuitarRocker]

As you can see I am a big fan of Alvin and The Chipmunks.. So my blue guitar is named Simon, and the red one is.. You guessed it. Alvin.

he was bought for $175 at the local pawnshop. Any suggestions on cheap modifications?

New pickups, pots, jack, switch, tuners, nut, pickguard, bridge, tremolo block, strings. That'd do it for me, maybe some wiring mods for series/parallel and so on.

Nice looking guitar! Thinking about picking up a squire myself. Rock on!

Thank you! I'm playing him now, and I'm liking him stock!

but I only have $250 to spend on mods.

looks just like mine

chrome dome knobs



mine is the "Standard"
note the two point bridge

the bent steel saddles from Anthill music
heavier trem block

as they said pickups and pots

a tusqXL nut and tuners

if you like the pickups

nut and saddles probably be best you can do under $30

I see. Well I was planning on putting a JB in the bridge, and two hot rails in the middle and neck positions.

Spend some time in the Trading Post section of the forum. Killer pickup and hardware deals show up there all the time. Most folks will ship internationally, or are already where you are.

An Invader in the bridge would be sweet.

well he is a little dapper guitar but I don't even know what I want! I was gonna purchase another SSS Squier to mod along with this so I can fill up my guitar stand.

Yes, and specially if you get them used. Excellent bang for the buck guitars.

Hehe. I'll find out once I get money! and then I'll get the Chipettes down. Pink one = Brittany. Purple one = Jeanette, another green one = Eleanor.
