Well. All depends on colour, but a good pickguard change will do wonders:
Black Moto or Red for a black guitar,
Tortoise shell or "Mother of Bowling Ball" or Red pearl for a Sunburst.
Black or Red Pearl for a Red guitar.
White Pearl for a white, Surf Green or Yellow guitar.
also, if it's SSS:

That wiring will kick ass on anyone elses Strat, it's in my Squier!! It looks cool too!

I believe he said he was adding a JB jr.
Here is my Squier project. (the white one)
starting at the top:
Started with a $139 1995 squier strat
Sperzel keys,
bone nut,
dunlop straplocks.
3 ply pickguard
500k pots with push/pull pot to split the bucker
Blue lace sensor /neck
Silver lace/ middle
Duncan C5 /bridge
What I ended up with is a strat that plays and sounds fantastic! Ive had buddies make fun of me for putting so much work and money into a Squier, but I learned how to work on guitars. I ended up with killer guitar.
Ive had other buddies that have high end strats that feel mine blows theirs away..
Go for it!

I don't know if your pup choice is the best for the music you play... just my humble opinion, but you could maybe do better with Quarter pounders...
Buy a special pickguard - mirror, graphics, etc...
Locking tuners and graphite nut if you use the whammy bar.
Do keep it simple with everything that's related to looks.

How is a quarter pounder better for classic rock i thought that was more modern then the jb jr. I would of thought lil 59 would be better for bridge and then some good single coils for the other positions and maybe 7 way switching of some combination. Thats what i would do if i had to have a humbucker in the bridge (or get a hum routed pickguard if the body is routed for that). Then get a cool pickguard, change the nut, tuners and maybe bridge (depends on how good the current one is) as well as all electronics.

Not familiar with Duncan pups aside from the P-90-based models. :foot:
