Sure, lots of them. But what kind of guitar are you after? What do you want to do with it? What kind of new gear do you want to replace the old stuff with? What style of music do you want to play on it?

You should have those questions in mind beforehand so you know what is possible. For example, in general Fender Strat/Squire guitars are good for modding, but only if you know what will fit in the cavity. But Gibson/Epiphone style guitars are not as easy to refit unless you get stuff exactly the same size or you are willing to do woodwork.

You might consider a DIY kit, too! :)
