Well hey I never considered that, you're the one takin' things that way haha
I did need to angle it. I'm gonna get some proper StewMac angled shims down the track, buuuut money...
Also, the pots arrived on friday, and I've been slowly picking away at the electronics over the last couple of nights and got it finished up tonight. Plugged it in, gave it a bit of a test and it loooks like I got sent a dodgy volume pot, the output will just cut out if the volume knob gets bumped a but. It might be a dodgy solder somewhere along the way, but from the way it was acting I suspect that it was the pot (also I am actually reasonably confident in my soldering job this time). I'll pull the pickguard off tomorrow night and investigate a little further.
