JTS #25 - Squier Sonic Strat Conversion

What started as an impulse purchase at Guitar Center turned into one of the most fun projects I’ve done in a little while - introducing the first “entry-level” conversion - the same high-quality electronic components I use in my nicest customer conversions have been used to mod this Squier Sonic Stratocaster guitar into a Tiger-like instrument. It sounds stunning and is a worthwhile Jerry setup for any player looking for a fun guitar that they aren’t afraid to take out to a dirty bar, or something they’re looking to not worry about scratching, dinging, etc. I think this guitar will look even better when it gets its first scratch!
