Fender Squier acoustic . . . no offense, but it's already crap. Sell it for 100 bucks, if you can.

Ok, well, you can buy fender picups and tuners and install them into it. People have done so with Epiphone Les Pauls and put in Gibson parts. . I would also replace the bridge and such. You should be able to find all the parts you need from Fender. Also, they might give you more insight on how to install them. Also, for buzz on the guitar, it's either a twisted neck or the frets are worn in. You should be able to get the neck straightened, and the frets filed down, or if they are really bad, replace. If you are going to sell it, I would just get the buzzing gone, and only put in the pickups. Then sell it, and make it sound like a steal and how much little money it is and still get the Fender sound with the new pickups.
