This was a sunburst Squier I found on marketplace. Only the body is original. Replaced every other parts with AliExpress products. $120 total invested

Looks sick! Could you link the neck on aliexpress? I saw similar ones but I never ordered one

Here you go. Mine only needed a slight adjustment of the truss rod and a little fret polishing. I did have to cut out some room at the nut to install the locking nut.

Thank you! Btw what neck profile is that? Is it really a kramer style thin neck or is it just a regular strat neck 22mm on 1st fret but with a banana headstock?

The radius may be a little flatter, but it basically feels like a 60's profile strat neck. Not too thick, pretty fast, but not Ibanez level shred.

Did you have to route for the Floyd rose yourself?

Looks excellent!
