Update:


Okay, i have just finished installing all the new pickups, pots, and the tone cap on the scratchplate of the HotRod Strat, and have just tested to see if it is all working correctly, and sure enough everything works correctly, all three pickups seem to be working too, I am also not getting any hum whatsoever, it is all noise-free, all that's left to do is install the new springs, put on a new set of strings, tune up, etc.

Will let you know how it all goes, stay tuned.
