Let's say I wanted to get a guitar for cheap in order to customize it (new pick-ups, new ardware, ect.) and create a truly beautifully sounding instrument. What kind of guitar would be a great cheap foundation that has the potential to sound amazing with a little bit of work?

Fender Squire strat.

Ditch the factory pups and drop in some custom shop fat 50s ($150 or so upgrade).

Mexi fenders to me are better than squires because it gives you a muchbetter base to work off of

Mexi strat- Texas specials pickups, 62 bridge, locking tuners, bridge pup wiring tone knob mod, pearl pickguard

Mexi tele- lindy fralin stock pickups, bridge with compensated brass saddles, locking tuners, 4 way switch mod
