Thanks Simon!

I think I’m done...

It’s certainly not perfect but for my limited knowledge/experience I’m pretty chuffed! Thanks all for the patience, help and advice!

Thanks Simon, I reckon you’ve done at least 75% of the work on this build! Haha!
I went for the drilling option and it went well...no mess on the tops and it slotted right on!
We’re getting...
Thanks I’ll try that now...what’s the more drastic action?
Hmmm chaps I’ve hit quite a sizeable stumbling block...
I’ve got my bushings in for the bridge and the stop bar fits fine BUT the actual bridge bit doesn’t fit. Once you screw the poles in they’re...
Just re-soldered it and it worked!
Oh my god call me Leo Fender I think I fix it...hahahaha!
Hi chaps, I hope you’re all staying healthy!
So I’m in wiring hell!!! I’ve basically rewired the whole thing and can’t get any output from the bridge pickup...I’ve followed the wiring diagram and...
Amazing thanks for that idiot proof explanation (it was much needed)!!!! Now to find some single core shielded cable!!
Do you mean replace the whole wire with a longer one?? And how would I get the ground wire too? Or does that come in certain wires already?
Sorry I’ve never done any electrics before so have no...
Thanks for the advice chaps!
Smart arses are most welcome!! So for both wires (ground and normal) it’s ok to just solder a normal bit of wire to each to make up the length?
I’ve noticed that the volume and tone pots are the wrong way round compared to PBG advice (A = volume B = tone) does this matter?
I also think I’ve found another stumbling block...the wire from...
So in terms of the neck, in the PGB instructions it tells you not to sand the floor of the neck pocket or the bottom of the heel as there is a break angle incorporated so I’m a bit stuck!
There is...
Mine arrived within a week but I don't know if that was just luck with timings as it's my first one too! Good luck!
So I’ve been piling away and buffing this morning and the finish is getting to where I want it! Certainly not perfect but I’m chuffed with it...

I’m really enjoying doing this but it certainly does give me brain ache very quickly! Very envious of all you knowledgable chaps!
So I’ve had another look and the pup selector makes sense now phew!!! How do I know which way round the jack socket wires go...

And then where do the pup wires...
Thanks chaps will get looking now!
Amazing thanks Simon that almost makes sense!
How do I know which way round the volumes go on the p/u selector?
Thanks again for all your help!
Thanks Simon. So along these lines...

Where the red, grey and black wires join theres another one which is covered in solder...what’s that for? And the the long...
I got the electrics out this morning to have a look and god I’m confused!!!
I’ve downloaded the wiring diagram for a two humbucker, three way selector but it makes no sense to me!
Here is what...
Thanks Simon! That’s what I was thinking!!
So next question!! I’ve let the wood settle down now and there is still a gap when the neck is in the neck pocket...any suggestions??
...
A quick question...
I’m going to use the Crimson Guitars finishing oil which looks pretty straight forward to use...but...do I need to tape up the binding again or does the oil just go over it to...
