Are friends electric?

II'm fretted up and nearly ready to go, leaving only the task of wiring up the pickups. Once again I'm severely lacking in the knowledge and skills that are needed.

Previously, however, where my cack-handed bumbling would result in superficial cuts and bruises, this time the stakes are higher.

Electricity or, for those of you in Norfolk, magic sparky light, is something I have a healthy respect for, after receiving a nasty shock from a fuse box, by sticking my fingers where they really shouldn't have gone. It was like being  hit in the chest by Muhammad Ali, an experience I have no intention of repeating.

Now, I'm pretty sure the dangers are negligible, but I'm going to be wiring a magnetic pickup, three Piezo transducer pickups and a 3 way toggle switch. So there's any number of mistakes I could make in the wiring.

Luckily, I found advice, guidance and a diagram on the Cigar Box Nation website.

So, with a newly found devil may care attitude and with my soldering iron in hand, I set about wiring her up.

To be totally honest with you dear reader, part of the job was already done for me. The magnetic pickup I had bought, came pre-wired to volume and tone pots, as well as the jack socket.

With only the bare minimum of soldering, burnt fingers and swearing,  I managed to hookup both of the pickups to the switch, and I was done.

As to whether it worked when I plugged into an amplifier, will have to wait for another time.
