Another method of dis-assembly: remove the pickguard screws (leaving pickup screws, pots and switch untouched).
-
Remove the jack plate, desolder or cut the output jack wires, flip over the guitar and desolder the ground wire on the tremolo. Remove the pickguard with all electronics attached.
-
This method gives easy access to do electronics repairs/mods, without having to readjust pickup heights and individual components won't move around when you're soldering.

Remove the springs which were on the underside of the pickups.

Great for a "tear-down" per-se, but horrible first steps for anyone to use to get inside their Fender Strat.
To get inside, don't unscrew every screw from the surface as is described here. The faceplate of a Fender Strat (and many other guitars) holds all the electronics to itself, so you only need to undo the screws around the edges and then lift off the faceplate to get to everything inside. From here you can remove the components that matter and solder or re-wire as is necessary, and then replace the faceplate as a single unit.
The steps in this article will lead to far more work than is necessary if you plan on fixing or replacing aspects of the guitar.
when I pulled off the knobs they pulled out a metal pin and the pin will not come out of the knob and I cant get the knob and pin to go back in
I'm having the same problem. Does anyone know the fix or have you found a solution?

Thanks for the guide. Thinking of replacing my bridge, which got chewed up by a clueless Guitar Center tech. Someone else said unhooking the tremolo springs before unmounting the bridge... I kinda figured that out on my own. This is a nice guide on how the parts go together, not necessarily a sequence of events.

Good info. For those dissing these guys after going to all the work to tear down the guitar and photographing all the steps, note the title of the article, "Squier Strat Guitar Teardown". A teardown is a complete disassembly, not just removing the pickguard and electronics although it wouldn't have hurt to put step 9 between steps 5 and 6. As in any manual it doesn't hurt to read it all the way through before beginning the "teardown". As you read through the steps it becomes quickly evident you don't have to pull the neck and tuners off to get to the electronics. Thanks for posting the info guys.
does anyone know what size for these import spec strats are the pickup screws? i know american strats are #6-32, but trying those on for my japanese spec strat copy they were too big to fit on the stock single coils
If you're only trying to gain access to your electronics, remove your strings from the tuners and drape them over the back of the guitar leaving the string ferrules still in the body. Then omit Steps 1-4 and go directly to step 5 and then 9. Most electronic repairs can be made at Step 9 with whatever additional disassembly might be needed to make that particular repair.
