Electrickery...

So for the wiring...  First of all we got the switch wired up in order to route the cables through the body before refitting the pick-ups.


Rather than the wire supplied in the kit I opted for better quality shielded wires.  The grey one is a single core going to the output jack, the white a dual core from the pick-ups.


The wiring diagram.


Using a box with the holes spaced as per the guitar.  This makes it easier to do the soldering than trying to work inside the wiring cavity.  Once finished it can be transferred and the last few bits done in situ.


Manipulating wires through the terminals of the components


 Applying the heat whilst I applied the solder


 We opted for some shrink-wrap on the capacitor legs to prevent any accidental shorts.  So now were ready to hook up the pick-ups, switch and jack socket then that's the wiring done


After being transferred to the guitar.


Next job is to test the wiring and then it can be strung then set up.
