Modding my guitar...
valley_parade:
Honestly, I'd recommend a Custom 5 over a JB. They're about the same price.

That the one you mean?
Bit pricey, but I could save up and have it by the end of the year.

Oh my dear lord. I feel truly sorry for you, if that pickup counts as "Pricey" :S
It's dirt cheap, compared to so many others. DiMarzio may be a bit cheaper, but stuff like BareKnuckle cost double or more.

I second the Danelectro pedals. I have three of them (chorus, overdrive, and flange) and they were all $15 each and they make my guitar sound wacky and awesome. Even my Sears guitar from high school sounds cool through the flange.
I think you just have to decide whether you want something that sounds like, well, a really nice guitar, or if you want that distorted/modded sound. I'd personally go for the latter, but you have to base it on what you want to play. If you'd only get $100 for it anyway I'd just keep the thing whether or not I got another.

Totally. I plan on totally making a new guitar out of my Strat. This is what I want to do:
-New bridge.
-24 fret maple neck.
-Wire the middle pickup's tone control to the bridge pickup.
-New tuners.
-New, custom paint job & finish.
-Black pick guard, knobs, caps, and pickup covers.

y'know, there's only so much you can do to make a crappy guitar good.
If the basics aren't good enough, there's nothing you can do to make it pro.
Squiers and low entry epiphones, don't qualify as good basics in my opinion. Some Mexican Fenders do, higher level Epiphones do (although I hate Epiphones, if there's isn't a Casino or Riviera in front of the name). Don't spend 300$ on a squier, EVER.
Rule of thumb here. If the modding costs more than the actual guitar, you're doing it wrong.
