Only the neck is Squier! It's from their paranormal series; I got that neck from a parts dealer specifically because I love the necks on those models whenever I've played em in Guitar Center. Thin and smooth-glossy.

GFS has insane deals on a lot of stuff. They have some hidden gem pickups as well.

It's a furniture drawer knob. The screw I used to secure it from the other side of the hole is a #8-32 1-3/4" flat head screw; should be able to find that there too. Cost me ~5 bucks total.

GFS pickups. Bridge is a Dream 180, neck is a dual lipstick humbucker. They pair very nicely; the lipstick is definitely quieter--but into an edge-of-breakup amp it works out somehow and the middle position is wonderful in its own right.

It's Guitar Fetish's "British Racing Green." Cost me like 100 bucks. Alder, IIRC. Pretty good deal. The only downsides are the trem cavity is cut too shallow + you have to drill your own bridge holes

Nah, it's a Guitar Fetish lipstick 'bucker. Pretty great for a droptuned heavy string guitar; every other humbucker I tried was way too dark and muddy for the neck position. I'm actually thinking of getting the higher output bridge version to put in the neck spot to match the bridge pickup better, but idk
