Suggestions for customizing a Squier Bullet Strat? (lemmy.world)

I have a Lake Placid Blue Bullet Strat SSS HT arriving today that I bought (brand new) as my first guitar to modify. I'm also waiting on a new pickguard and a Seymour Duncan SH-6 to arrive as my first change. After that, I'm going to look into single coils to put in the neck and middle positions. I mainly play black metal (hence the SH-6), but also shoegaze, emo, goth, and general rock and stuff.

So, any suggestions for things to do? Could be for the guitar in general, or those specific genres. Any suggestions are welcome!

I recommend wiring the bottom pot as a tone control for the bridge pickup. It's just a matter of adding a jumper to the 5-way switch. Some strats ship this way, not sure about the Bullet but I think not.
