As a counterbalance to some of the negativity that's been floating around on here of late, here's some stuff that i think is definitely worth the money:
Electrosockets for Telecasters: simply the first upgrade I do to any Tele. That original cup design is truly horrible, and an Electrosocket just rights a 60+ year cock up.
Wilkinson Strat trems: simply the best bang per buck for upgrading a lower end Strat.
Switchcraft jack sockets: they just feel so much better than the far eastern ones.
Earvana nut: perhaps a contentious one, but after getting our Feline demo Strat that came fitted with one ... I'm convinced they are the way forward. It simply plays more in tune than any other guitar in our rack.
And a couple of more personal ones: those little Joyo 'American' and 'British' etc pedals ... way more fun for your money than their 'cost of a round at the pub' prices.
And finally ... any good, wide, comfortable strap :-)

Your life will improve when you realise it’s better to be alone than chase people who do not really care about you. Saying YES to happiness means learning to say NO to things and people that stress you out.

The little pickup polarity tester that StewMac do. It's a god send for anyone doing pickups swaps, magnet flips, or just sorting out which, out of a box full of Strat pickups, will work with each other.
It's sub a tenner ... and my most used tool in the workshop.

A good point, however if you use a right-angled jack then the above is perfect (for a Neutrik jack at least).
