Jan 22: Soldering

Wiring up a new control panel for the Telecaster. A new panel, new pots, switches wires and other bobs, all out of the box of parts. I'm not great at soldering and I'm trying really hard not to make a real mess. So far so good! I'm trying some wiring mods too... :-O

Update: It works! I re wired my guitar and it works. Well, almost. As an experiment I changed the value of capacitor from 0.05 micro thingies to 0.01 micro thingies, and it sounded horrid. I compromised and changed it to a 0.02 micro thingy capacitor.

I'm not good at soldering either. I'm improving though.
