  1. Thanks for all the info. I replaced the plastic knobs with some chromed, domed & knurled Fender ones and it looks like a totally new guitar. Those made it look really cheap.
  2. Does anyone have or know where I can get a wiring diagram for one of these? I've been fruitlessly searching online for weeks now and haven't come across one. I'd like to upgrade the pots, knobs and pickups (with "hot" Kent Armstrong Split Tubes - http://www.wdmusic.com/split_tube_guitar_13626_ctg.htm) The "stock" pickups on the site are "Alnico / DC 4.9k" and the "hot" ones are "Ceramic / DC 7.9k". Do I need to do upgrade anything else if I'm moving from 4.9k to 7.9k? What types of pots should I be looking for? There are two volume knobs and to push/pull for tones. I haven't done this type of work before, but I'm a DIY type of person so I'm going to figure it out. If I could I'd like to add a master volume (put that where the pickup switch currently is) and move the pickup switch somwehere out of the way -- it's easy to hit with the tremelo bar or hand on a down stroke. Also plan to do shielding where possible. I need to get a good book or website for some pointers on that. Pretty ambitious, I know, but this is what I can hopefully do.
