Ok remask Ed and sanded and sorted out the side bleeds. There are still some tiny errors but I can live with them.
Need to cut back the top at some point but once it’s real hardened up so I’ll stick all the stuff on in the meantime.
Tried a test colour match on the gold hardware x x

This just keeps looking better and better.
The patient is doing well. Under anasthetic... it’s a bit like a cross between electrics and colonic irrigation

Bugger!! It’s all in and I was just about to attach the ground wire the solder snapped. So it’s all in bar the ground to bridge.
Question. Could I ground any pot to the bridge or does it have to be the bridge vol pot? The master vol by the pickup hole is a lot easier to get out.!!

Any pot will do, as long as the pot backs are already connected together.
Whoever said the electrics was a night mate was understating it!!! I took the time pot out again toner solder the new earthbonnspent ages gettijgnit back in to drop the wire again down the hole!!!!!
In hign sight making the loom longer would ya e been a better idea as it gives much more wiggle room for the wires. Im goons eat and have a beer. Then decide. But I’m thinking of scrapping the loom and making a new one. Thebwires provided are amsolute crap. I have more wires though so I can just start again if I clean all the pots off. Not fun but can’t think of another way.

I agree, the standard kit wires are pretty awful. They work, but are useless for putting a decent loom together.
Thanks. That might make it a little easier as the tone pot has little roomOriginally Posted by Simon Barden

Soooooo...... this is where I’ve left things. I ripped out the electrics. I kept on breaking wires. Not actually because of my soldering but because the wires provided were awful quality and I didn’t make the loom long enough. So.... I want happy with it. I want it to be right. So I’ve pulled it all out and removed all the wires from the components ready to make another loom with good wires from work and longer ones at that!!! The bonus is that all the posts and things are now pre tinned!!! Deep breath. The thing with these projects is knowing when to walk away and take a deep breath to return fresh and solve that problem.
