It measures 9.5mm to the crown of each of those last few frets. Action is still a little bit high but no more than 1mm and wouldn't recommend sanding base of neck pocket to drop such a small amount. On my 2 Tele builds they needed between 5mm - 7mm to be sanded off to drop the level and also help get action down low enough.

Cheers, Waz

Thanks. It looks like a same height once I check it. Maybe I make double check for to be sure.

Did you test the wiring while it was out of the body, like this? Was it working before you installed it?




The wiring looks generally OK and, while it’s difficult to be certain from the images, it looks likely that one of the ‘hot’ lugs on the pots or related connections is touching the copper shielding and shorting your signal to ground. Possibly even the jack ‘hot’ arm is shorting on the shielding when you insert a plug, as the arm flexes outward and can make contact on the hole’s lining in some cases

Double check everything is working outside the body and, if it is, then placing some insulating electrical tape over the copper in strategic places, like below and to the side of where the pots lugs will sit and in the hole for the jack where the hot arm sits may solve it.

Let us know if you can’t solve it.

Hey. I made couple little moves. I set that ground wire to bridge what I forget at first place and I take copper tape off around a Jack and it is giving awesome sound. Unfornately pots are not working that well. Neck volume pot doesn't do anything. Bridge volume and tone pots kill all volume.

But it is giving a sound and it is almost ready.

Couple more details and I call it finish.
