Bit of delay due to work commitments.
Downloaded and followed the wiring diagram from the Pitbull website. MISTAKE; they fail to draw on the solder required to earth the tab on the volume pots.
I first set myself up to do the wiring on a cardboard jig, protecting the guitar from solder splash:
After double-checking I had followed the diagram, I installed all the bits, assembled the remaining parts, strung it up and tested it. FAIL: the volume knobs didn't work and I had the switch installed backwards. I'd also cut the wires too short, which made getting the parts installed even more difficult.
It's tricky as there's no rear cover; the pots, switch and jack and have to go through the f-hole. I used a length of wire to pull them into place. For the jack & tied a knot to pull it along, for the pots I tacked the wire on with superglue.
Hi Tony - I'm about to use that wiring diagram. Its just the solder on the bent looking tabs on the 2 volume pots that is missing isn't it? I saw that it is shown as soldered in some different diagrams but not for this one, so that was confusing me.
