Hey all, here is my problem, I just took a '03 Mexican Strat HSS, made it into a SSS and replaced the original pickups with the vintage Fender Noiseless pickups. I left the 250k pots in all around cause I read they will still work. Well when I plugged the guitar in TONS of noise and feedback occurred. Pressing fingers to strings increased the amount of fuzz. Note: It did work I could here the strings and all pickups were active just tons of noise. So that said, I immediately ordered three 1 meg pots for the guitar. Think they by themselves will solve my problem and make these pickups worth the price I just paid?
Also, when they get here I'm thinking about just rewiring the whole damn thing based on a standard strat wiring diagram, cause trying to manipulate the HSS to SSS was kinda confusing.... (ie wtf green wire?) lol, Do you think thats a good plan of action? Any advice or suggestions?
