Well today has been a mixture of progress and complete PITA.
Having tidied up the finish from yesterday I pulled it all together, and initially it looked ok:

But then I noticed a little mark between the bridge and the pick-up. "No worries," I thought, "I'll just give a quick polish." And, it turns out, go straight through the bloody finish.

So I've sanded it back a bit and now trying to rebuild it to sand smooth again.

Cracking on, because I'm now just sick of this build, I took it inside for the soldering and realised I wasn't quite sure how to proceed.
Simon B kindly found me this wiring diagram a while back: https://www.pitbullguitars.com/wp-co...pot%202017.pdf
So I've soldered the basics on the pots, output and bridge cable and checked connectivity, but I'm looking at the wires from the pick-up and not sure how to combine these?

Unfortunately that's a rather naff photo but each pickup has a red and white wire twisted together, a single black wire, then a green wire and an unshielded wire twisted together.
I'm guessing I need to solder the green and unshielded and the black to the ground and then the red and white to the middle tab on the pot?

Oh yes, and because I haven't ballsed things up enough I manage to spat hot solder onto the front.

it appears to have melted itself into the finish and I have no flippin' idea how I'm going to deal with that.
