I started on the wiring a little bit.
I don't think that I have used a soldering iron in 25 years. So it was a little bit daunting.
I went with the Master tone, Master volume and Neck and Bridge volume as it made more sense considering the layout and my needs.
I have done most of it now. I need to add the capacitors and test the pickups to see if everything is working. I have been tempted t upgrade the pickups so I am holding off on finalizing it until I make a decision.
I have been looking into a decent upgrade options for a while and luckily today I stumble on this brilliant thread that kind of confirmed my feeling.
Off to Ebay to source some bargain GRETSCH filtertron.
I however need some advice on my soldering: I am worried that the way I have approach the soldering on the bridge volume pot might be a little bit "off". Should each wire make direct contact with the pot or is the way I have done it OK? It looks a little cramped and I am not sure whether this is ok or not?
