Thanks Tim. I'm looking at the diagram on here: http://www.squierguitars.com/pdf/current/Strat/Standard%20Strat-%20Service.pdf It seems to be mostly the same as mine though from what I can tell the wires to the switch are in a different order, but there's still the same number of connections so...

Oh! Well, that was interesting, thanks for that link! The end of the White wire does connect to the output jack. So does that mean I'll be able to just solder it back on to wherever it needs to be?

I'm having problems with my guitar... there's a hum that goes away whenever I touch something metal on it, so I think that's a grounding problem? And there's something wrong with the signal, it keeps cutting out. When I opened it up to have a look, one of the wires is completely loose... but I...

Hello! I'm new here so I'm going to have a proper look around in a minute but I thought I'd put a link so you can see what I've been doing so far. My band The Ventura Project just released our debut album TVP, we did all recording and production in GarageBand. All the vocals were recorded using...
