Wiring

So whilst the finish is left to cure and harden I finished a few little jobs on the pickups and got the parts for making the pre-amp.



Drilled and tapped the pole piece height adjustment holes and re-assembled the pickups.  The magnets were stuck in place on the base plate with superglue.



This is the wiring diagram, it's based on the popular Tillman discreet JFet circuit.  I've modified the original design to include my p'ups and controls.



Using a cardboard template to wire the standard guitar wiring circuit...



...wiring the pre-amp...



...putting the two parts together.  I clipped the p'ups to the switch and the output to a guitar lead and tested the whole thing in the same manner as the original p'up test.  Works perfectly!



Aluminium adhesive tape stuck down to shield the cavity, cover and p'up cavities.



All fitted nice and snug!
