Custom built Fender Jaguar USA. Building the tone circuit, and wiring-in the pickups

I can finally see well enough to drop some Creamery "Alt 88"Jaguar pickups into my Custom spec Fender "US Original '60's" Jaguar. I'm wiring them up with a "Johnny Marr" schematic, and I'm especially looking forward to testing out the additional "neck and bridge in series" combination.

Gold leafed Hardtail Stratocaster. Selecting, making and fitting a Treble Bleed modification

Hotter pickups usually require a little dialling-back, to get them into "Vintage" territory. But I think I'm going to need a "Treble Bleed" modification to keep the sound bright.

Gold leafed Hardtail Stratocaster. Fitting the circuit wiring with 500k pots and a K40Y-9, 0.1µF PIO tone capacitor

Building a modified wiring circuit for my Gold-leafed hardtail Stratocaster. Wiring up some Fender Vintage Noiseless pickups, with 500k pots and a K40Y-9, 0.1µF tone capacitor.

Gold leafed Hardtail Stratocaster. “Working on the sound”. Researching, planning and sourcing some circuit components.

There's a lot to learn, (so this might be a long post). I want to try and specify a wiring circuit specifically for the Fender Vintage Noiseless pickups I'll be using on my Gold Hardtail Stratocaster.

The Joe Strummer Telecaster. Pickup and control circuit wiring installation.

The Telecaster control circuit is about a basic a circuit as exists for electric guitars. There's an additional modification in this case - the addition of a treble bleed - but the circuit is simple, and ideal for a relative beginner in guitar electronics like me, to get to know how things get connected
