I solved the problem that I had with the noise by changing the wires of the jack(I had installed them backwards).The signal is clean but the sound is preaty weak...is there anything wrong with the wiring?

I am using the george lynch Wiring diagram
the pickups are a SD TB-5 and a GFS NAL-9

Any opinions?

thanks a lot!

pickups may be either too close or too far away from the strings.

is that both pickups on a push-pull pot? where's the yellow wire in the background going, is that a bridge wire?

i'd disconnect and clean everything with a chisel tip and a de-solder pump (wick is the machine gods' joke on us all), then get some thinner hook-up wire and re-do all the hot connections first, then twist the green and bare p/up wires, the bridge ground and the jack ground together, tin them, and then fuse that to the back of that pot.
i know it's not perfect but if none of your components are faulty it will both work and tidy that right up, ruling out potential shorting issues

so... much... wire

EDIT - i'm suss on the short black switch to pot wiper wire btw
