i always try to get clear before and after recordings when i do things like this to make sure there's really a difference, plugging directly into my console to avoid the inconsistencies of tube amps. i can go back and forth and usually hear what's changed after a few listens. it's a pretty quick and reliable way to know if there's really a difference or if you're just full of it.
the changes are subtle in the mids and treble, but the bass obviously sounds different. i didn't think there would be much impact since the cheap original wires that carry the signal from the pots to the switch are still there, but lo and behold even just partially rewiring the guitar can make a difference. and why wouldn't it? if replacing the cord going to the amp can improve the sound, why wouldn't the internal wiring benefit from the same upgrades? it's not like the quality of the signal begins to matter only after it's left the guitar.
