Hi guys, i recently installed new pickups pots and output in my strat. I also copper shielded it all off. I hooked the pots up with 99.9 silver wire in teflon tubing to see how it sounds.
It all works but the volume does not roll off evenly and at around 1 its zerod but at zero it has sort of full volume but with less mids and slightly less treble but a usable sound.
There is no groundloop hum in my novice opinion. But the vintage singlecoils or the amp picks up my phone when on charge near the guitar with wi fi on the phone.
The pots are all new and are allparts cts 250k. Output is switchcraft. I am not sure if it is some sort of ground loop causing it or a cold solder joint on 1 or several grounds. I ordered some sort of fancy cts volume pot i am not sure if its that. The tone controls have a bypass at 10.
Any body familiar with this and can advise me would be appretiated greatly.
The silver wire was super fiddly to install and solder compared to standard cloth push back wire so would rather not rip it all out. Although I am close to de solderinf it all and putting cloth push back instead as it is just way too unreliable and possibly unsafe. Its on the bench waiting a remedy or surgery route.
Thanks
