whoever owned it before probably convinced themselves that thicker wire = better sound or some goofy thing like that. no doubt encouraged by the marketing geniuses in the guitar cable industry.
If there is a hum and its been rewired, I'd keep an eye out for goofy redundant grounding, or filter caps that should be grounded but aren't. remember that redundant grounding can be through the chassis too. so if you have one PCB grounded to the chassis in two different spots, thats bad form.
since you are rewiring it, just make sure that every wire you are replacing is going to the right spot.
