Hm... I couldn't resist it and I put some strings on it to check if everthing was ok. Unfortunately, there is something weird going on.
One volume pot is ok (bridge) and one tone pot is ok (neck). The bridge tone does not do anything. I hear no difference in the output when I turned the knob. And the neck volume pot is doing something weird; when full open I have output. When I turn it down the output is muted when I'm halfway and when I turn it down further the output comes back. It als makes some weird clicking sound in middle position.
Definately something I have done wrong while watching the videotutorials. I have to check to see what went wrong...
@Simon: I did not have enough coppertape to cover the covers. But I can use other metal tape as well I reckon?
