Stratocaster Overhaul: 5 Best Strat Mods. 5 Best Stratocaster mods - Sire S3 mods. Here are the best strat mods you can do and there's links to all the parts used in this stratocaster upgrade video below.

One of the best strat mods would be to change the tuners to a locking set. I chose a set of Guyker locking tuners and can't believe how great they are.

Budget strats often come with cheap electronics so it's worth doing stratocaster electronics upgrade including a good quality switch and some full-sized audio taper pots along with an orange drop capacitor. Also while the strat is open, use some copper tape to shield the insides.

My favourite Strat upgrade is fitting a treble bleed. This treble bleed is from Marstronic and is a variable treble bleed so you can choose the frequency of the treble and how large that boost is.

As always, with any dark fretboard I use Monty's Instrument food to make it look awesome.

Braddles saddles are always a great stratocaster mod. £7 and they're quick and easy to fit.

The Best stratocaster pickups when you want to upgrade strat pickups in a budget guitar, or a Fender for that matter, would be Tonerider pickups. This HSS set of Tonerider pickups cost £100 but you can get the single coil version for £80! Unreal and they're proper flatwork.
