I've seen some guys fill the plug with silicone before screwing it back together to help limit any movement and broken connections. If the plugs allow, a bit of heat shrink at each end might help too!

I have a Schecter that I'll be replacing the pickups on this year. I'm told I'll be able to do that myself. I doubt my skills

But I also would love to upgrade the wiring on my Squier Telecaster (which has three pickups and a five-way switch). I may give you a call about that one this year

I finally got my act together. Full story on my website and I made a very quick and simple sound file that showcases the clean tones (going from middle position through to the neck position) and the distorted tone (using the bridge position). Neck clean and bridge distorted are now perfect for my liking. I love it!
Fingers crossed as I attempt to embed fromSoundCloud

I just wanted to quickly write something to let people know I went ahead with a Guitar Sauce rewire. I'm not electronically minded nor can I use a soldering iron without burning myself, so I asked Shaun to do the rewire for me (for a fee obviously). I have to say I am absolutely amazed with the tonal difference (not to mention the custom wiring change I requested).
I loved my Notcaster before the rewire. I love it a whole lot more now. It's no longer one of my lesser guitars. I'll be writing more about the process on my own website as soon as I get a spare moment.

Hey Scarebear, thanks for the follow on Twitter! Yup, located on the Gold Coast so if you need any wiring help just give us a shout!
I have a terrible guitar that I'm still proud of because I put much of it together myself (and it shows). One thing I have no clue about though is wiring and electronics in general. I may just contact you to get some costs for a rewire.

Awesome! Not only does the Australian component please me, but the fact that you appear to be within driving distance pleases me more

Definitely a worthwhile upgrade. Cheap electronics are so annoying. Even mid-priced guitars seem to have poor quality electronics. Switches that quickly wear out and scratchy pots that start to cut out in spots, grrr. I have never had any luck with cleaning them either (nor do I understand how they could have gotten so dirty so quick in a nearly sealed housing that is in a covered chamber.) Replacement is the way to go.
