    Is the Mooncaster body routed for WRHBs?

    Bigsby felt pads: leave them on or take them off?

    To close the loop on the pickups - it turned out to be somewhere in the braided cables coming off the switch.  I'm guessing one of the braids penetrated into the cloth part causing some of the signal to go to ground.  After testing the pots by themselves and seeing that they worked fine, I...
