    Surprising improvement to my Squire 70' VM's tone
  

*by L***C on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 21, 2018*

The tone of my Squire 70' Vintage Modified strat was great to beginning with, so much so that I've put off plans to buy a true American Fender strat.  Since I will be keeping this pretty amazing Squire I thought I would upgrade the small pots with this kit.  I was not expecting much of a change in the tone, but after installing the entire kit (cap, pots, switch, and new wires), there was a noticeable change to the tone.  Tone is subjective, but the new sound seems fuller and better balanced - I really like it! The switch doesn't feel a lot more precise or "better" than what was on the guitar, and the pots themselves don't necessarily "feel" any different (the one's installed worked smoothly), but I definitely hear an improved tone.  Is it the Orange drop cap, the CTS pots or the better wiring, or all of the above?  I don't know, but I am very happy I installed this kit and highly recommend it for Squires, even the higher end Deluxe and VM squires - that already have significantly improvement tone over the Affinity and Bullet models.The included wiring directions are identical to those from the Seymour Duncan site, so I know they are accurate.  One interesting note is that the SD wiring plan is different than what was in the guitar (the cap placement was different).  I assumed the wiring would be the same so I didn't really pay attention to what the tone knobs controlled before I started removing parts.  The tone knobs now control the mid and bridge PUPs and I "think" they used to control the neck and bridge, but I might be wrong.  If you install this kit, pay attention to what your tone knobs control now in case the wiring change affects what you're used to.  In any case, the wiring instructions are how Fender Strats are wired, so I'm fine with it for now.  I might experiment in the future - there are a lot of different ways to wire a strat.When all was said and done, I was left with about 8" pf black wire and about 4" of white wire.  I did not have to enlarge the cavities in the guitar to accommodate the noticeably larger CTS pots .  That may or may not be true for the lower end Squires.Lastly,  If you are not comfortable soldering or don't know how to solder bunches of ground wires to the back of a pot without ruining the pot, I recommend buying a pre-wired kit or spend some time on YouTube on how to solder guitar components - there are several good videos with important tips.  Also,  if you hear buzzing sound from your amp after wiring it up, you very likely switched the ground and hot wires to the 1/4" plug.  The new plug is, BTW, noticeably better than the original.
