I have been playing an american standard strat for going on 10 years, love it, but lately the hum is starting to get on my nerves.
For those of you with experience trying to remedy this problem, which method did you find the most satisfying, shielding the innards of the guitar as mentioned in Guitarnuts site (below) or noiseless pickups like the Kinmans etc?

To me the shielding seems like a PITA, whereas the pickups seem like a pretty quick (but expensive) fix, but do you really lose a lot of the tone that makes a strat so appealing in the first place?
I don't mind doing work on gear, but i've realized that the more time i spend tweaking the less time i spend actually practicing and moving beyond the same tired Pentatonic loops i've played for years
Thanks
