Les deux dernières CBG sorties tout juste de l'atelier.
Une 3 cordes équipée d'un micro 3 plots "Rola" de ma fabrication. La table est bombée et sculptée façon années 30.
Une 4 cordes équipée d'un micro Humbucker, la table est plate et sculptée façon années 30 également. Cette CBG est frettless.

Contrary to common sense, I had to make the tone controls ahead of the volume and any 'blender' pots. I used a .022 uf tone cap from Radio Shack. YMMV. I did use two good sets of pots -- each rated for tone or volume and I tested the resistance first to make sure they matched OR which were which.
Most of all the ground either was common or put specific to a point on the chassis. I didn't really care how or where the pickup grounds were but the pot and the bridge/string/shielding grounds went directly to the (-) of the jack to more or less make the quickest path to ground.
The greatest challenge was figuring out which damn wire what which on the pickups as they didn't have a single piece of documentation. I had to figure it all out based on which set of poles created a current (volt meter helped) and which was N and S (I used a compass, heh). From there it was easy. The pups did have N and B on them so that helped.
Also note that I did have to swap the 1 and 3 leads on the blender later but can't remember why.
I followed this basic diagram from Seymour Duncan:
Best of Luck!
