Despite the heat I got a few bits done today.

All pickups are now wired to the new 5 way Fender switch. From switch new wire rinds to the new volume & tone pots. Both pots are CTS push pull 500k linears; volume pulled up lets the bridge bypass the switch and allows neck/bridge combination. The tone push pull swaps between 0.22 & 0.47 Orange Drop Caps.

The pick guard has a nice new covering of copper on the underside, nos I just need to do the earth wires and fix the output socket...
