Hi all,

I'm a longtime saxophonist who's fallen in love with learning guitar.  I got a great deal on a really really good MIM Strat (verified by two pro guitarist buddies).  Looking down the road, I'm probably gonna upgrade the pickups -- does that mean the wiring too?  Also, how much hotrodding is viable?  If I eventually upgrade the neck, the tuners, and the nut will I notice the difference?  Will it become comparable to an American Strat?? 

Thanks in advance.
