With both of the pots and switch being electrically continuous mounted on the metal plate. You only have to ground one of them.

Max, that big yellow thing is the cap? 
Heaps bigger than the average ceramic cap I've seen.
Good soldering, those Tele pots are a tight fit to work with.

He got the cap from me. It is a Jensen paper/oil cap. Whether or not it is a good cap, I would never use a ceramic cap in a build. That said, I personally think it is a good cap for this application.

Max, I can't believe this hasn't come up before. With your newly noticed similarity in hairstyle with Johnny Ramone and your bank of Beatles and Stones trivia, the name "The Ramones" was adopted because it was one of Paul McCartney's aliases when in public, Ramone.
I already know of Paul Ramone. Fitting that the Ramones adopted aliases.Justinginn

So, guys...
I'm considering screwing everything together just to play this thing.
Are there any problems with this? Tuners and all seem like they could be a pain.
And last chance for suggestions on pups. I'm thinking covered nickel 36th anniversary PAF dimarzio and a fralin tele bridge.
I'm also thinking about just doing a wipe-on finish for this guitar. I don't really want to mess up the whole thing.

I think wipe on finishes are great, personally. I just finished a small end table in Minwax Satin Wipe on Poly and the finish is exactly the same as the satin finish on my W strat neck. I don't know how well the Minwax Gloss wipe on works, but I bet it would be pretty good. A HUGE added bonus is that you can just do it inside in your basement or laundry room or something -no spraying. Were you trying to do a butterscotch blonde finish? If so,I'm not sure how you would do the butterscotching in a wipe on format. Maybe Tonar knows.

Really? The most stress for me was setting up my Floyd. That was just tedious, but I think It was worth it.nathan a said:
So, I just bought the fralin stock tele brige pup from W, along with the Ferrules I needed. I'll buy the Dimarzio 36th later, since W doesn't stock it.
When those parts get here, I guess I'll assemble my guitar and give an early review. I'm not that experienced, so it won't be the best review.
