So, like 10 years ago when I got a big amount of money for Christmas, I went and bought my first guitar, which I could really only afford a Squier Bullet. Fast forward to now, I still have this but I also have a Epiphone Les Paul Standard a friend gave me.

I like the Les Paul, but I like the lightweight body of the Squier. It obviously sucks, it's 10 years old and is not a great build quality, but I still like playing it. Barring personal feelings about keeping my first guitar or buying a new one, would it be better, long term, to just replace the parts on it that suck or is the whole build quality just holding it back?

Musician's Friend has some and they were a reliable source last time I used them, but that was also like a decade ago.
