Tip: You may need to use a pair of pliers (a Leatherman is the best) to gently hold the potentiometers/output jack in place from the back whilst turning your wrench on the outside of the guitar. Use a Wrench to tighten loose hardware on the output jack and potentiometers before screwing the back plate back on.Then turn the knob back and forth until the scratchiness has disappeared.

Test the Tone and Volume Pots by turning all the way up and down and wiggling them slightly – if there’s any scratching, you’ll want to open up the back cover and use the plastic nozzle on your can of WD-40 to direct the spray into the slot on the potentiometers (pictured).

I won’t make any stupid jokes here, but you’re welcome to. Any crackling, popping, or drop-outs should be remedied with some WD-40 and the same in-and-out motion.

Test the Output Jack by inserting and removing the 1/4″ cable a few times, then using a little pressure on the side of the male jack whilst wiggling and turning it around.
