hard to say until you've put it all together and plugged it in. with the detail work you've done, it should be great!
play music!

All high-quality, vintage-style stuff. Are you planning on shielding? I'm guessing you're going with a vintage-style trem too?
I'm putting together a parts Tele and bought a variety of caps; haven't decided which to go with yet. Those paper in oil caps are huge! I know some say cap type doesn't make a tonal difference, but it's a relatively cheap experiment ... |

I tested it with my meter and everything checked out just fine. Well worth the time and the little material cost involved.

It's a fine collection of parts. I like to twist the wires to the output jack, and don't forget to run a ground wire to the trem claw which is the traditional place to attach it. |

Thanks again RussB ! Great looking wiring job ! I,ll take your advice and twist the wires going to the jack. Sure makes for a clean looking wiring job. Does it do anything for tone ect ? Thanks again Bill |

I guess it could help lower noise and interference...then again that guitar is fully shielded. It does make a cleaner install. |

RussB...Nice Work! I've been in production electronics for a long, long time and that's some of the cleanest work I've seen on an instrument.
I notice you have a rather small tone cap (0.015)...do you get much cut with that value? I have 0.047 ad 0.022 in my Strat and there is a big difference in the effect between the two.
