    Hey all,
    I pulled it all apart this arvo.
    Wired the neck pup to it's pots and got ground noise but a signal from tapping it with a screwdriver and thought all good (perhaps foolishly I didn't do this with the bridge pups and pots)
    When I pulled it all apart I found some shorts from my dodgy soldering, so cleaned off as much as I could and tried to use less.
    Eventually after a few cock ups I got it all back together and I pulled out all the copper tape shielding just to be sure- the body I got is really rough in the cavity .
    Anyhoo, I got it all back together and am at the same place as before- loud ground noise and no signal when the hot wire is wired to one short jack pin and little his when wired to the other and no pickup signal.
    I tend to be a problem solver and this is wandering around in my head a bit, I do have a Belcat harness in the post and I am hoping that will work-I will need to solder the battery connections and pickups and may need to make a cutout for the battery cover though.
