Hi. New to the forum, old to guitars (46 years). I have a guitar I'd like to build into a quality Frankenstrat, ala EVH. It is a Fender Squire Strat Affinity series. I already know the electronics are in the garbage. But, is the wood quality and neck build quality worth sinking time and money into it to make a pro-level guitar? Here's what I'm thinking... Strip the body of paint, have the edge radius re-done to make it less squared off, and more like an American strat, or Warmoth, et. al. Repaint it in a different color and drop in high-quality pups, pots, switches, etc. I'd also drop in a blocked Floyd Rose. For the neck I'd refret it with stainless jumbo frets, sand off the "Squire Strat" logo, leave it blank, and update the machines. I'm I just trying to polish a turd?
