BAck to the Tele…  Holes Plugged….

Turning my attention to the pick-guard there are more problems, I seem to be having one of those days!  I had a look at the pickups but they haven’t come with any springs or screws.  I keep a stock but guess what, none fit so I’ll have to order some more in.

I can mount the pots’ and switch and start the wiring but found another problem.  The size of the switch and the position of the switch hole don’t line up with the cavity in the body.  I’ve already had to use a right angle switch but even that won’t fit.

It’s close so the only option is to take a little off the cavity.  I don’t like doing this sort of thing but there is no way otherwise…

Just a little nip..

Fits nicely now.  And there is another problem.  The switch tip needs to be black and it’s a different size thread to all the others I’ve got.  Like I say, one of those days….

With the pick-guard now fitting I’ve started the wiring….

Enough for today, my frustration levels are getting too high!
