Option 1. I want to get one of those Squiers that look like that only with a maplez neck at some point (VM 70s or something).

Almost Gilmour vibe with the second one
Fender Classic Player 60’s Stratocaster>East Coast T1 Tele>
Epiphone Les Paul SL>Ovation 12 String acoustic>Peavey Strat DIY Relic

Marshall Origin 20H>James’s old purple 2x10
Marshall MG10 Combo

One.

Two looks a bit half-seventies and there's no point half doing something.

I was leaning toward option 1 for the Chris Stein vibe. I agree both options would be better with maple, but this wee guitar plays like butter so any changes will be purely cosmetic.

Poll is invalid. No SLOAN option. But definitely 2. Match the white in that b/w/b guard. Fuck these shortscalers.
Congratulations! Your Punkacc9 evolved into Awstin.

I've always loved that look, especially with the rosewood fretboard.
