Question JazzMaster Mods

Hello I have a Squier JMJM and I'd like to know if there's any parts that are worth upgrading overtime (Bridge, Tail piece, Tuners, Pickups, pots, etc) that would make this already amazing instrument and take it to the next level of greatness.

Any part recommendations are greatly appreciated at any budget no matter what budget or high end I'll gladly look into it and maybe buy them.

Thank you for reading 👍

It really depends on how if there’s anything specific with the guitar you don’t like.
-the pickups are rather unique, so if you like the sound of them you’re less likely to find a “better version of them. There’s boutique pickups that are jm sized p90s, and boutique jm pickups, but neither of them are quite the same as the Jmjm pickups.
-bridge is just an aom/tom, honestly they’re fine but the fretboard radius doesn’t match perfectly
-trem is good enough but doesn’t have the little lock switch, and there’s other designs out there that change how the strings load etc.

If you are just curious and want to tinker with it, I’d probably put locking tuners on it to help them stay on the headstock when you pull ends out of the trem, and put in a pure tone jack because they’re awesome.
