I put a Hot Rail on a cheap strat-copy. It sounds properly but a little bit noisy (when using high gain of course) than the stock 500T on my Gibson X-plorer pro when using the same setup (amp, cable, etc.). It's acceptable but I just wonder if I can further bring down the noise by upgrading other electronic devices inside the strat, e.g. pots, jack and wires. Which one should I try first? Or is the Hot Rail born to be more noisy than Gibson 500T?

Re: noisy Hot Rail?
Thanks!
It's noisy only when with a lot of distortion. In fact, it's not a serious problem. It's quieter than most cheap guitars. It's just not as quiet as my Gibson. I'm sure there's no wiring problems. I had replaced the stock 5-way switch with ernie ball's and there's a notable improvement on the clarity of sound. That's why I wanna know which part should I upgrade next.
More input is still welcome!
