Telecaster build - ironing

Time to complete the electrics.

I used the Seymour Duncan wiring diagrams here for a standard Telecaster. 

I used cloth covered wires as I like the look. They're a bit harder to work with and strip, so I used a little heat shrink at each end to stop them fraying.

Here's a few random pictures. All the earths from the bridge and both pickups were joined before they entered the control cavity. This means there's only one wire to ground onto the the volume pot rather than the three doing it separately, keeping that area a bit tidier. The rest of the wiring was as per the Seymour Duncan page.

And all done... 



Just waiting on the control knobs and top hat for the switch. Next post she'll hopefully be strung up and making a noise...
