If you want to upgrade anything, just replace the jack with a proper USA Switchcraft - the stock ones are junk and often don't grip the plug very well. On a Mustang this should just be one solder joint - the ground connection is carried via the metal plate. Make sure you get a jack with (or buy separately) a shakeproof 'star' washer.

No use for it.
I havent had any problems with Squier jacks before, but i will definitley consinder doing that if they do get ropey.

After that it probably just got confused with the idea that 'vintage is always best' and hence assumed that cloth-covered single-core wire sounds better too. (Which it doesn't.) The idea that it reduces hum really is ridiculous though! Even shielding doesn't significantly reduce 50Hz hum.

I guess its probably not worth it if there will be little to no difference in sound. Not that im unhappy with the guitars tone, far from it.
Just thought it may give it that extra zip!
Tbh the amount of fuzz i use, im not likely to hear it.

Much quieter. Why this isn't standard practice, I don't know.
