Sounds lovely.

Fascinating -- I'm currently working up the courage to do the thing that everyone does with a telecaster: put a "wired in series" option to the pickups. There are a million tutorials on doing that, but I was brought here from your "how potentiometers work" video, because I'm starting from almost nothing. I still don't know what a farad is. Just a word of caution: you might consider double-checking if blue worsted wool is something you want to rely on for your ground circuits.😉

@@jessejordache1869 I've used many different types of wires on ground circuits. I've seen guitars from the factory with bare heavy guage wire. That is bad because it creates short circuits when it comes into contact w other components and the paint. The cloth wires in my strat are gavitt push-back 22awg, available on reverb. I had a brand new hagstrom swede that had real problems short-circuiting until I discovered the ground wire was touching the sheilding paint and also again the sides of the input jack were touching the paint. I gutted that, put a Pearly Gates in it and now it sounds like ZZ Top. On that one I recall I used some speaker guage wire on the ground and it still was fine.

@@sevenpoundsalad3878 Best I could tell everything looked tip-top. "Blue worsted" is a knitting joke: I was implying that you were connecting your leads with yarn. Maybe a little niche for internet humor -- I started knitting in when I was 18, partly so I could do it public as a "girls, come talk to me" gambit. Thanks again for the little animated "how pots work": now I know why a resistor would change a guitar's behavior.
