  1. Also its a Output jack and not an input jack. I would ground everything to the switch and not straight to the jack, maybe used screened wire from the switch to the jack too. You could fit small tone pots inside the caviyt if you find the tone a little bright.

  3. I used colron antique oil on a bit of scrap limba (very porous like mahog) and built up a good gloss finish really quickly. I wouldn't bother grainfilling unless you want a super high gloss finish, going by your opening post you wanna go with oil or similar? Tru oil is just tung oil with varnish in it to make it a little tougher. Setch knows everything about the rustins stuff which may be an alternative if you cant spray.

  4. What a rip off! well not really. Cloth wire doesn't make your guitar sound better! I hate this vintage stuff=better. just get 2 good pots and a nice cap and make a better version.

    BTW CTS pots break just as often as any other good pot i have ever used, they are of resonable quality. Panasonic make really good pots sometimes $100 each, never seen one in a guitar though. :D

  5. For what it's worth, on their American and American Deluxe Stratocasters... Fender doesn't mask off the frets. The guitars come with lacquer on the frets, and I haven't seen that it causes any problems. :D

    Exactly, nice time your in a guitar shop have a look at an american fender with a maple board and the frets look gold, thats the laquer. Just use some 600 grit up to 0000 wool to remove the laquer.
