Most parts will fit. The neck and pickups will. The pickguard should. Two of the worst parts about the newer Starcasters are the wiring and pots. Strat electronics will be a huge upgrade. I'd think a MIM bridge would fit it, but you'd better measure that. The only piece that is odd on most of the newer Starcasters is the back plate. It is much larger than a Strat's and cannot be easily replaced.
A Squier Stratocaster is a type of electric guitar. Originally, Stratocasters were made by Fender, and rapidly became favorites of many guitar players the world over. They eventually moved production of the Stratocaster to the Squier company, which now produces the Squier Strat for Fender. Squier Strats are not worth as much as original Fender Strats, but they play almost the same.
