I don't see a ground going to the bridge... The small pots are fine if they are good, those switches though are crap. I would upgrade that. Cavities could use shielding, and the rout looks good 👍
@@j-man9457 - Thanks, brother. I will double check the wire when I my grandson wakes up (ha!). And if it doesn’t… you know I love me some cooper shielding tape (man, I am funny in the mornings). I actually thought while making the videos much of this is comedy - the way I do it anyway (style and skill). Yep, making my parts list later today. I need to really do some playing through it (once reassembled) to really access other things. As always thanks for the time and support thoughts? Neck joint look ok? Did you see the hole from the heel joint to the neck pup cavity?
My Fender CS doesn't have a ground going to/from the bridge either like Teles do...must be grounded via the pup screws in some fashion. Also have a nice FGN Tele that was super quiet and it too had no ground wire from the bridge but did have two ground wires going to the body via screws into some heavily shielded cavities. I don't understand grounds...even after doing about a dozen successful Tele pup swaps this year alone.
@@lazvt8469 So here you go. From Google: “A Ground Connection connects every piece of metal on your guitar and acts as a return path to the amp. In part, the Guitar's Ground Connection helps remove unwanted noise, and is essential for safety - It allows electricity to travel safely to the amp to dissipate“ So if only parts of your guitar is grounded you will have different levels of current flow causing unwanted noise... Cheers!

@@lazvt8469 - "I don't understand grounds" should be a country song or in my case a blues toon (smile). Thanks for the comment.
The video is so slow and plodding that it is not interesting. The guitar may be a good value, but it is poorly presented...
Thanks for the comment. Glad you enjoyed it. Rock on!
