fender highway one stratocaster

guitar help?
I had a Fender Stratocaster American road with 60 of the pick ups and 22frets. I want a guitar with 24 frets and different pick ups. Should I buy the neck and pick ups and install or buy a guitar with what I want?
It will cost as much to get a neck new and have new pads put into your good start as to get a new Jackson or Ibanez, so you might as well just fork the money and get a second guitar. Otherwise you will later need to turn your home into a monster.
