Sucessfully wired a new output jack!

After having connection/buzzing problems I decided to get a new jack & insulated wire.

After only 10 minutes (after removing neck & pickguard) I managed to do it right the first time (well second).
I had wired it sloppily 10 years ago and when I removed the pickguard the trem ground wire fell off.  :laughing7:

So with a proper voltage Weller unit, more experience tinning wire, and a well placed needle-nose pliers holding the bits together, I made it!

New strings and whammo!  I'm just excited it worked and it has proper integrity to last this time.

Now it's time to  :rock-on:
 
The trem wire ... I have a tele that sometimes buzzes, I wonder if that's causing it.

But yeah, I opened a strat I did years ago that's always had problems.  Looking at the wiring .... I have no idea what I was trying to do.
