  1. Thanks for the input guys. After reading some stuff and your replies I've done some thinking and maybe I'll fill the single coil cavity, refinish the guitar, put some EMGs on it and save my time and money to build a custom new guitar from scratch...
  2. First of all this is my first post, although I enjoy reading this forums for a while now, so Hi! Well I finally got the nerve to do some diy on my own. I have laying around here my first guitar which is a Squier Stagemaster Deluxe HSH. The body seems quite solid and is in alder and is reasonably heavy, so I'd guess it's not as bad as one would suppose. It has a Floyd Rose trem though which I don't particularly use and don't like the cut in sustain, it has a single coil pickup between the two hambuckers which I actually don't use, the neck although not being totally bad could be better and I really dislike the headstock. That being said, I had two options for this guitar, sell it for 100$ (not worth much more than that) or use the body to a science project... What I have in mind, would be filling the trem cavity and single coil cavity, thus converting it to a fixed bridge (maybe string through) with two humbuckers. As to the neck I was considering buying a custom neck from Warmoth or something like that. Put in some EMG's (probably 81 bridge and 60 neck), some good locking tuners and I should get a mean machine. Is this doable? Is the body even worth the trouble? Thanks!
