Good Lad!

Just checked it and it looks as though I have got them the wrong way round! Stupid error as I should have checkec, but the diagram i was following had them the opposite way around (obivously a slightly different design of jack) and so i followed it absolutely to the letter....its just i was using different bits!!!

I cant be bothered to get the soldering iron out now, but will sort it tomorrow and report back!

I think i did this on every single one of the first guitars i made, i dont know why and it seems pretty daft, every time i was sure i had read the diagram right.  But it happens to us all!!

Excellent, I am now humless!

But.......I put the 4-way switch in to get the neck and bridge in series, but when i use the switch now, it sounds like position 1 (nearest neck) is just the neck, position 2 is still just the neck, position 3 is the bridge and position 4 is just the bridge again!

The diagram i followed is from here http://www.acmeguitarworks.com/pdf/tele_4-way_diagram.pdf

Ive checked over the wiring on the control plate again and its all absolutely correct and there are no shorts etc so any idea what it could be????

My strat which I rewired also has quite a bit of hum... maybe I also got the wires wrong :lol: Will try reversing em sometime.

If they are the wrong way round you wont get any normal signal.  Strats hum, get used to it or spend a hell of a lot of money trying to fix it  (which you can rarely do completely!!)

I love tele's and I love how you have done yours. I really like the french polishing, you get that trad blonde look from a distance and then the grain up close. Nice job.
