Customizing a Squier

Just a few quick questions.
  • If I were to order standard Fender stratocaster parts would they fit/work on a Squier strat? (knobs, pickup covers)
  • What kind of paint would be suitable for a pickguard?
  • How hard is it too remove a pickguard, pickups .etc and to succesfully install them again? I've really had no expierience in this area before.

Thanks.

EDIT: I noticed this should probably be in Guitar Tech?

1) Yes they would, they fit on my Starcaster Strat
2) I would think any paint as long as you sand it and prime it first... But be safe and go with Krylon Fusion
3) I did it... A month after getting my guitar. If you aren't technically inclined, it might be tough. But it really is straight forward.

re: #3 question- it's pretty easy to change out the innards of most electrics. Check out this video to see how to change pickups in many guitars:

Or, you can go really easy, like I did for my Squier Strat and just get a new pickguard that already has new pickups, switch, knobs, etc. already on it. All I had to do was pull out the old one and make 2 or 3 solder joints, and I was done.
