    GR-1SF Wiring questiins

    Hello ladies and gentlemen! Hope all is well with all of you.

    So, as shown in my previous posts, I have built and customised a ton of guitars over the years, but this is my first Hollowbody, and first actual pitbull project. That being said, I have a couple of wiring questions that are probably REALLY dumb.

    1. When looking at the wiring diagrams that are provided on the pitbull website, should I imagine everything upside down? For example, when determining which wire gets soldered to which terminal, in the wiring diagrams, am I theoretically looking at the bottoms of the pots?

    2. Capacitors-the kit comes with 2, but the provided wiring diagram only shows 1 (on the master tone pot, obviously) however, in the diagram provided by another customer in the gr-1sf sticky in this section, shows the 2 capacitors attached to one another. Is this the correct application for the 2 capacitors? What would the pros and cons be of using both, vs 1?

    3. Fishing wire. Last, but not least, what method is best used for fishing the wires thru the body cavity, getting the pots through the pre-drilled holes, etc without having to tug the wires too hard and rish something coming loose? Any suggestions would be appreciated! I would hate to spend so much time getting everything all wired up, then having to pull everything out to troubleshoot problems once I get everything in place in the body.

    Thanks in advance folks, advice would be much appreciated.

    PS- Here are a few pics of my build so far.


    Cheers,
    Crash
