Looks like I’ll be getting the gotoh mini pots then. Seems like the easiest option to deal with. I think that’s pretty much all the questions I had about upgrading the electronics dealt with now....

With the switch shaft length I think it largely just comes down to what you're used to. If you're used to the other switches then it being longer will just feel wrong to you and a lot of playing an...
Thanks for the replies guys. I haven't really messed around with circuits any time in the last 10+ years so I thought having the ground and volume together might cause problems but I wasn't sure....
Nothing wrong with being a bit cautious and wanting to check things on your first build. Even experienced luthiers can make mistakes now and then.
I’m looking forward to having a lighter guitar when it’s finished. The one I have now weighs a ton. It’ll definitely be more comfortable playing this one than the one I’ve got.

I recently purchased a TL-1A kit and it arrived with a 5 way switch instead of the 3 way switch on the listing. This led to me finding out about the "Bill Lawrence mod" which seemed interesting so I...
