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?
