I found some spare time in the cupboard, so i pulled it out and finished off the wiring. The braided/cloth insulated wire is so easy to work with, just push back the braid, push back the cloth insulator and solder.

This is going to be a really nice guitar. I keep saying I'm not a hollow body guy, but that could be changing.

I thought yours looks good, Barnsey! I'm usually an untidy person with terrible motor skills.Originally Posted by Adam Barnes
I was thinking of using cable ties to hold it all together, then thought, why not just solder the braid from each cable together? It works well, I think!

Plus earths it all at the same time i had trouble getting the solder to stick to the braid
Getting the heat into the braid helps, if you have a small soldering iron it'll be a difficult job. I used a soldering station from Jaycar, they no longer sell this model, but it did the job well.

That i did not know, i was trying to dribble the solder onto it, thanks for the tip
It might pay to go over your joints, heat them up so the solder flows into the wire and onto the lugs. I think Doc did a tutorial last year??
