Next step, re-wire the pickups.  I’ve cleaned the pots and they seem ok but the pickup switch and jack socket were both beyond recovery so I’ve wired in new ones.

The jack-plate is very flat, not enough depth to fit countersunk screws, so I’m going to use ones with much smaller heads.  The trouble is the shafts are thinner so I need to pack out the old holes to give the screws something to grip or they wont hold.

Once the glue dried it’s just a case of putting it all back together…

Tomorrow I’ll bolt the neck back on, fit the strings and complete the setup
