Following last week's fight with our Squier Troublecaster we're back for round two of the upgrade battle. On paper this should be such an easy job... grab some new pots and pickups from the man-drawer, pop them in and plug and play. It doesn't quite work out like that... 🤬

I AM NOT AN EXPERT. Some things I do know and some things I don't know but think I know and sometimes I say things that are not entirely correct. Once I have said things it's too late to correct them so please check any 'so called facts' with an adult, google, wikipedia, or someone else that knows.
