Would it be worth it to fully upgrade a Squier Bullet?
(lemmy.world)
So, like 10 years ago when I got a big amount of money for Christmas, I went and bought my first guitar, which I could really only afford a Squier Bullet. Fast forward to now, I still have this but I also have a Epiphone Les Paul Standard a friend gave me.
I like the Les Paul, but I like the lightweight body of the Squier. It obviously sucks, it's 10 years old and is not a great build quality, but I still like playing it. Barring personal feelings about keeping my first guitar or buying a new one, would it be better, long term, to just replace the parts on it that suck or is the whole build quality just holding it back?
I was given a bullet strat for free. Right now I pick it up every day cause it's fun, and I have been messing with different saddle heights and truss rod relief. There seems to have been some fret work done to it at some point before I got it, so as long as what you get has even frets and not sharp frets I think they are fun little guitars.
