hello drummer friends, wrong forum I know!
Ive been dabbling with my guitar a bit lately (nice to have another instrument, where you can be rubbish at it but thats ok, as drums is your main thing!)
Anyway.... the guitar in question (a Squier affinity strat) has a slightly damaged body. I kind of fancy having a project, so am looking into swapping the body out (i.e. keep everything else). My question is... when getting a new body (used off fleabay probably) does it need to be the exact model (Squier Affinity from around mid 2000s) or can it be any start body that will take 3 single coil pickups? Another option could be to buy an unfinished body and paint myself.
I'd rather not join a guitar forum to get into this, and you know some of you folks like to dabble in guitars too!
Any tips much appreciated
PS , I'm anticipating people saying things like... its a squier so why bother? may as well just get another guitar etc etc... thats fair enough, but I've seen some cheap bodies online and I fancy a project as I've got a bit more time on my hands!
