The 2nd link are the pics. a Prewired setup for the first one wonder how they look.
But the importance are the sound in the EMGs
I own a Jackson with EMG 81/85 Anniversary's (if anyone wants to buy it PM me) I'm selling it for $650 with the discontinued pictures (go crazy!)
EMGs are very "sterile" clean sounding pickups. I think they're more for Metal or soloing such as the two artists posted on MF are said.
Upset for David Gilmour he rocks it, but I mean they still are EMGs.
I believe it'l be worth it at the end and have a good sounding japan squier from the 80s.
HERES THE DEAL
a website brand called GFS! Direct prices!! Prewired pickguards!!!

They're cheap, bright, muddy pickups. but I mean sound is all in your hands right
they gotta sound good. look up some project guitars that use those cheapy GFS.
Di Marzios are expensive.
I don't know how much its worth to fix this guitar up but just a thought.
GFS!
I could spend the $200 on EMGs this is all just one big thought for a project to revive an Old Squier Japan strat.
give me your guys's thought!
