Sweet neck

The wiring diagram I thought was clearer is different to Fenders, I've attached the Fender one and coloured it for DiMarzio PUs

The pickup journey in this one is starting with a pair of DiMarzio 36th PAFs

I had found the fender wiring but without colour it's a bit of a mess. I've come across this one and with your chart should make it very easy to wire up. I think one of the tone pots was originally a 250k, I've got no load 500k's so I'm going to give that a go first.

I ended up going with the custom bridge route and had to send in the bridge. Bit of a pain internationally but everything seems to have lined up. Just waiting on the stew Mac ferrule installation tool to install the rear ferrules before installing the bridge.

I've come across the Big Apple Strat wiring and it seems great for a HH setup with a super switch. Only issue is the wiring diagrams I've found are terrible, very hard to follow. Does anybody know where I might be able to find a wiring diagram for it?

The neck is satin nitro if that helps

Mine went captured as it was sent and still says captured

The body is mahogany with flame maple. The neck is roasted flame maple, with an ebony fingerboard, flame maple headstock and Hipshot tuners It will have a Hipshot hardtail bridge and DiMarzio PAF 36th Anniversary humbuckers.

Shield the back of the pickguard, it will be grounded from the physical contact to the pots. You can shield the cavity and run it up to the lip of the cavity so it makes physical contact to the pickguard. Then job done.

Nice video Aaron, would love a graphic with all the profiles overlayed in different colours to make it easier to see the differences

I get imperial measurements for the nut size and neck radius. But for Tuners it's not great, why not list the millimetre size too? It's way less confusing.
