Looks awesome, nice build!
Mind if I ask you how much of a pain in the ass is it to swap out pick ups? I recently started playing again and have been paying more attention to some of the gear some bands I listen to use. I was thinking about swapping out the pickups in a Squire Tele I bought, because why not tinker around - https://www.mk-guitar.com/shop/product_info.php?cPath=22_32&products_id=114
Might do the bridge as well.
I'm good with cracking open computers and changing out components. I could probably use some practice on soldering though.
changing pickups is not super hard, but does take a little time. You will need a soldering iron and various soldering supplies, and some wire, wire stripper/cutter, and maybe electrical tape (or shrink wrap if you want to do a more fancy job) etc.
Shrink wrap or heat shrink tubing? I've always used the latter.
Heat shrink tubing yeah lol. Had a brain fart.
I thought I was doing something wrong for years hahaha.
