The general priciple is that:
"Shielding will help with BUZZ but not HUM - only hum-cancelling pickups will cure this.
Most single-coil guitars do pick up some noise" as someone succinctly put it.
If you can get the foil in the cavity correctly ;) (i'm klutzy with that) then you should be OK using superglue,I'm using Loctite superglue,and it seems to work adequately for most guitar based work,except woodwork-some prefer other types of glue. I sheilded my Ibanez a long while back using those foil dishes pies come in (Tescos)and cheapo Sglue. Haven't had much of a problem with hum so i don't generally use sheilding.
Double check the earth wire (US=ground wire=same thing) that runs to the string claw in the tremelo cavity and be sure that all the earth connections are soldered correctly.
Most UK/US terms seem to be the same/similar,after all, Yanks invented the Electric Guitar so we copied the terms.
Squire Strats can be perfectly good instruments,if you like it or want to tinker ,good luck.
Guitarnuts is a fine site and it pays to go back and keep rereading it..i'm off there just now.
Cheers.
Accuracy,you say? hmm interesting concept..
