I intentionally wired the neck and bridge pickups in the opposite switch positions due to personal preference, so that's why I added the notation about flipping the switch around to get the typical switch directionality. I will reverse the labels of all the lugs on the diagram, and that should...

I spent about two years spec'ing out this guitar, a Strat/Tele hybrid, and finally pulled the trigger on it in June. The body surprisingly came about 6 weeks early (kudos to the guys at Warmoth), so I was able to get this put together much sooner than expected. Here are some pictures and the...

Thank you for the info. I have previously only had guitars with shielding paint in the cavities, so I am trying to get a better understanding of the copper tape as it seems to be a grounded faraday cage, whereas the paint creates more of an ungrounded cage (unless a grounding wire is screwed...

I am researching how to properly ground copper foil when used to shield the control and pickup cavities in a future build. I will have my volume pot directly screwed into the body, which suggests that given the back of the pot will be grounded, that will inherently connect the ground to the foil...
