I decided it was time to start the electrics for the guitar. I drilled three holes of the correct size (10mm for the pots, 12mm for the switch), in same layout as the guitar, into a scrap piece of 6mm MDF. Using this I can cut all the wires to the correct length and it holds the components as you try to solder them. This shot is from about half way through, about to add the ground wires (and thus swapping to a bigger soldering iron). As a side note, while drilling the holes, it did remind me that I want to get some more of the Colt drill bits, as they are superb for the money.
The electronics for this guitar is very simple, far more so than my last guitar. Two pickups (Lindy Fralin + something P90), two CTS pots (250k), tone control capacitor (it’s huge….), SwitchCraft switch and a standard jack socket.
With this done, I only need to add the pickup wires, attach the bridge ground wire and solder on the jack.
