I think the PUs sound good so I'm not rushing to swap them out, and in fact, I'm a bit surprised how many people rush to do that. But I guess when you have the modding bug, you just feel an irresistible urge to change things.

I'll do some A/B-ing of the Bullet vs a MIA Strat before I'm convinced I need to do a PU change.

And I know I've posted this elsewhere, but I think it's supremely lame to replace the Squier decal with a Fender one. Modding is one thing, being deceitful is another.
At last somebody who thinks that removing the original headstock logo and replacing with a fake fender logo is deceitful, (I am suprised that moderators of these forums allow such pictures and postings) and possibly could go further if said guitar was ever sold on....

I have recently converted a Squire Affinity into a great sounding esquire, and I am proud of the headstock logo.

There are many many great guitars out there, but it seems that only having the "correct" logo is acceptable - no matter what it takes - even using counterfiet measures. If people don't like the truth then tuff.
