Project time! My MIM needs a new pot and 5-way switch. While I am at it I want to rewire, new pickups, and shield it... callaham bridge and new tuners to follow later. What wires should I use? Are radioshack wires good? Any recommendations for tuners?

planned pickups are: CS 69-neck, Fat 50's-mid, CS 54- bridge.
I have tried several pickups out and watched quite a few videos on the net. This seems to match what I am looking for.

Any others gone down the modding road with their MIM strats.

I wouldn't use RS wires, but that's just me. I like the parts for mods that are available through stewmac. :wink:

I don't use anything from Radio Shack.

Take a look at www.RSGuitarworks.com Roy and company are excellent to deal with.
