Identified the tone control issue which turned out to be two issues.

I had put copper foil under the pots and the pots have tags on them that hang down... Well, I had a short to ground on the unused tag... first problem sorted.

Second problem - Wasn't happy with the range of both the tone controls. In addition to rolling off the highs on both knobs it almost became a pseudo volume control at maximum high cut, and I knew I didn't have any short circuits, so I concluded that the installed caps must be the wrong value... Replaced the 473 brown drops (kit was supplied with 473 green caps) with 223 orange drops and both the tone controls now work as expected.... All the general chatter that I'd seen elsewhere about what size caps that typically go with single coils and with humbuckers must have sunk in.

Had a play with the action.... High E is 1.5mm and low E is 2mm @ the 12th fret & still nil buzz... Sweeet!!!

The first time I did that, it took me more than an hour to figure it out.
