Cheers Dr. Nomis
I downloaded Infraview but the laptop died recently so I'm using the iPad
The 'feedback' issue is more of a buzz or hum when the guitar is plugged in, could it be an earthing problem I wonder??

It does sound like an earthing problem to me, does the hum go away if you touch the strings, if it does, try using a multimeter to check if there's a ground connection between the bridge and a convenient ground point, such as the back of one of the volume controls or the sleeve connection of the output jack.

No, the hum doesn't go away if I touch the strings..
I did run a wire from the bridge to a tone pot? Is that what you're referring to?

Check to see if your tone pots are also grounded to your volume pots because if they aren't then that can cause hum problems too.

The hum seems to be reduced when I Touch the pickup switch??
I checked the earth wire from the 3-what switch seems to be intact however?
