    If you're wanting as little noise as possible, shield the guitar instead of just the wiring. Check out guitarnuts.com and look at "shielding the beast". You could wire it up with all vintage styled wire if you wanted, it'd still be dead silent.

      cause i heard in another post that shielded wire ruins your tone....does it really? I bought a spool of shielded wire and was wondering if i made a mistake. I also kept the sheilding the beast in mind-ive been studying it a while, as ive never installed strat pickups. I'm going on a fresh pickguard, so im starting from scratch in the wiring. I want to keep my samarium cobalt pickups accessible in a prewired guard, as they only come in fender strats $1000+, and do sound nice!

        Wire is wire. Of course there will be those who argue that in order to reach a certain tone, you have to do this and this and this with the wires and pots and switch. If you've never installed some pickups, constantly read and re-read that artical. If you've got any other questions or problems along the way, just drop me a line.
