    Hi Dylan,
    I have a suggestion to make your soldering BETTER. One of the things that makes all electronics go faulty over time is called a Dry Joint.
    It happens when the mechanical connection between the parts being joined fails. It can be caused by a number of things but two things
    that make a huge difference is how the parts are Tinned (or Whetted) and how you deal with cutting off parts after soldering.
    You mentioned that sometimes the solder doesn't stick to the part eyes, that can also happen to the wires and is a leading cause of dry joints.
    What you should be doing to both the eyes AND the wire you stripped back to join is bring it up to temperature with the iron and tin the eye or
    the wire with solder so it is nice and shiny when cooled. THEN you solder them together and once brought up to temperature everything should
    flow together nicely and stick. A good shiny joint often (not always) means a good whetted electrical join. I know you are using solid wire but it
    is just as important for solid as it is with multi-strand.
    In a similar way when you trim the wires. I am sure you have noticed that sometimes you trim the wire and it goes snap and flies off. Think
    about the force you are putting into the snippers and the force that is making the offcut fly off. What about the noise it makes? That can be
    a lot of energy that you have just put into that joint and it can actually cause both cracks and microcracks inside the join. It may still look
    ok but it will fail at sometime down the track. Solution - touch it with the iron again and heat it up so it flows and release - DO NOT blow on
    the joint to cool it, let it cool naturally. Extraction fans are ok but rapid cooling can also cause dry joints.
    I am not suggesting you need to start MIL-SPEC soldering but sometimes little things make a big difference. Your soldering will last significantly
    longer if you do these two simple things and you are much less likely to have dry joints. I may not be a Guitar Hero (yet) but I am a mechanical
    engineer and have been doing electronics for a long time so I know a bit about this stuff.
    Good video. Love your work. Have you thought about maybe doing a valve amp like a StewMac Kit for a video? Not an "I am an expert" kind, just
    a "I gave it a shot and this is how it went" kind.
    Cheers from Australia.

    I’ve wired a Tele once. If you have soldering experience it’s actually easy. Pretty straightforward….But enjoyable, satisfying and worth it

    Good Evening Dylan,
    Please do not forget to post an Amazon link for the silicone work bench mat.
    Thank you very much.

    I've been loving all these low-key instructional videos. Working on my second guitar build right now so some of these are getting saved for future viewing.

    Hey Dylan, Love watching these kinds of videos, always pick up some tips. BTW, that tab is an anti-rotation tab, it's supposed to fit into a small hole and keep the pot from rotating if the nut loosens. Helps to not stress the wire joints. Most of us that do guitar wiring just break them off.

    Nice vid as always and very informative. Brass knobs are pretty much all I use, and when not brass I like old Alco aluminum knobs. I also make knobs out of wood and other things for fun. Those brass sleeves for split shafts are a life saver too (in a pinch a straw works too). I also have maple veneer pieces that fit in the slot on the split shaft so they don't smash the split shafts if I have to work on a guitar. For all of my personal guitars and basses, I only use solid shafts with 1/4" solid shafts.

    Thanks. Just a thought,you might could use a set of feelers gauges to set the height of the knobs off the mounting plate just to get them equally height spaced off plate providing that you might want to temporarily use some tape as to not scratch the plate finish

    Nice & clean build. Do you use .031 diameter 60/40 solder?

    Why would one use a .015 cap over a .047/.05 cap?

    Hi Dylan,
    I also agree with you about quality parts but having been involved with electronics for many years I would have to suggest that some "Quality"
    parts are not really quality but have developed a reputation through they were "traditional". Leo Fender used the cheapest available parts that
    worked to mass produce his guitars. A prime example is that he used car paints because they were cheapest not the best. He settled on various
    "tone woods" because they were cheap - he did actually prototype and for a short time sell PINE guitars. They didn't work because they were too
    soft but they were cheap.
    I wouldn't mind hearing a video about your take on WHY certain parts are "quality". The comment about a thicker control plate is a good reason
    why you would use them in the video. Tell us WHY some stuff is good not just "I buy CTS switches because they are the best" WHY are they the best?
    There is plenty of quality stuff out there but some musos will not buy it because it is "traditional" and confusing it with "quality". Quality made in USA
    parts are one thing but I would have to argue that Made in Japan often means quality also. In some cases measurable quality.
    I have trouble understanding some times why NASA will use a particular part but musos will reject it because Fender or Gibson never used them.
    Electrons in the circuit don't care about Orange Drop capacitors, they care about the VALUE of 0.15 mF. A simple ceramic capacitor with the same
    value with electrically cause the same thing you can measure on an oscilliscope. Guitars create signals in the milli-volts and a ceramic may handle
    only 10v and be overkill; orange drops handle 200V. Both measurable quantities. Why are they so popular? What's you take?
    Cheers
    Andrew

    Dylan, is there an epoxy for wood to fix stripped out holes? The Einstein that routed the control cavity made it too long and the screw threads barely have anything to anchor to

    • @charleswallace5818

      Glue in a small piece of wood or you can use wood putty or then epoxy. You can just build it out with a small dowl piece of wood
