20161202_193327 by Christopher Louck, on FlickrI had a Texas Special neck pickup around and an Atomic Humbucker so I figured I would make it like the MIM stock guitar. It sounds excellent. The combo is really nice. The best part is when you put both pickups on, the sound is different and good. A lot of the times when you combine a single coil with a humbucker the sound can be meh, but this is a really good sound. Both pickups also sound excellent on their own and are not super expensive either.

20161203_123135 by Christopher Louck, on FlickrThe neck has a thin finish. Not matte like some of the Squier necks, but not thick gloss like the classic vibe ones.
20161203_123146 by Christopher Louck, on FlickrStock tuners are fine and could be easily replaced if I wanted to. They work fine so I don't see why I would change them.
20161203_123141 by Christopher Louck, on FlickrThe color is pretty much like vanilla. Not yellow, not white, but kind of in between.
20161203_123227 by Christopher Louck, on FlickrThe tremolo set up well with two springs. (First for me, normally I need three with a strat tremolo using 10's.)
20161203_123208 by Christopher Louck, on FlickrThe pickup change was super easy (there is a swimming pool rout under the guard and it is fully shielded with paint) and cheap. Makes this guitar just as good as my Mexican one, but for much less money.
