Proper wiring for a Telecaster guitar build is an absolute necessity for several crucial reasons. First and foremost, it directly influences the guitar's overall sound and tonal capabilities. Precise wiring allows you to fine-tune your instrument, making it possible to achieve the distinct, signature Telecaster twang or explore a wide range of versatile tones. Moreover, reliable wiring ensures the guitar's reliability and longevity by minimizing the chances of electrical issues, noise, or signal dropouts that can be frustrating for any musician. Finally, understanding and executing proper wiring is an essential skill for any DIY enthusiast, enabling them to customize their Telecaster to match their unique musical preferences and style. In essence, wiring isn't just a technical aspect; it's the gateway to unlocking the full potential of your Telecaster guitar.

Coming along nicely!
Can't wait to hear it sing!
Words aren’t enough of a thank you! FIRST time doing anything electronic and I got the same switch coincidentally. So this video was a godsend lol
I kept buying junk soldering irons. I bought a basic one but from StewMac, perhaps even a 3rd more than others but their stuff insures you get usable tools even with their cheapest. My point being my past efforts were hampered. I noted you did not wind the wire thru the holes on the pot or indeed use any little clamps etc. I was doing that because of junk soldering irons, lol
Doing just how you showed me I feel confident to tackle. So THANX big time for keeping things simple and clearly easy to view.
Iv been thru several irons myself , finally ask a real pup winder what i shld get .He recommended a hakko fx-888D . Had it over 3 yrs ,goin strong thts way longer than the others . Just a thot . Good luck .
@@tomfoolery2082 Thanx for the heads up!!! I made a note of it.
I use a KSGER T12 - love it!
New Zealand pickups? Cool! Is there a link to his homepage?
Found the link.
Good job ,thanks Tony
Do you have any info on the treble bleed parts you used? Great vidio! Learned alot.
Beautiful
I see you soldering a capacitor (usually .047uF?) on the tone pot. but you call it resistor. What values are you using? Specialy the resistor-capacitor duo bleeder. This should be a very small cap value and the resistor, never found any value. Nobody talks about it. You are right. Very often the graphics on amazon are wrong. We have to double check everything. One note: your faraday copper cage should be grounded to be efficient. Think of a star ground to bleed away noise as they do in electronic circuits. A ground wire should also reach the bridge around a screw fixing it on the body. This will prevent noise while touching the strings. You take very good camera views of your work! Thanks!
Hey Gilles, yeah I meant capacitor…it’s a .022uF one on the tone pot.
For the treble bleed you can use a few different values. 1000-1500 pF Capacitor: Lower values = higher frequencies, higher values = lower frequencies
100-330k-ohm Resistor: lower impedances are brighter, higher impedances are darker
Thank you. I'm noting all this! :)
I kinda wanted to see when you cleaned the solder tip.
can you do a follow up video on the Kaish switch since it's been almost a year
@@kevintrick4541 its still going strong. No issues at all.
How can you tell which is the longer and short wire? they look the same to me.
It is easy to see in person.
