I'm buying a new guitar in the summer, and so I want to turn one of my current guitars, my Squier Strat, into a bit of a 'personal' guitar, that is - modify it, decorate a custom pickguard etc, just because its my first guitar, and I really quite like it and want it look cool! (how vain am I! :D).

Anyways, first stop on this journey would be reshaping the neck, but im not sure whether part of the neck not warping etc is down to the weight of it, and whether cutting/filing it would affect that in any way?

I shall attatch pics of what I plan to do it my MSPaint skills are up to it!

Cheers,
David
