Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted May 11, 2023 Share Posted May 11, 2023 (edited) My newly acquired squier classic vibe competition mustang came from the previous owner upgraded with a pickup from a vintera mustang and CTS pots. The soldering job wasn't the best - I've improved some of the connections by reflowing the existing solder and adding some extra, but I will probably remake the loom at some point to make it look a bit prettier. Surprisingly the original jack socket was still in place so I replaced it with a switchcraft from my bits box. Also surprisingly, the CTS pots used were splined split shaft pots rather than the solid shaft type which fit the knobs best, and one half of the shaft on tone pot had snapped off so the knob couldnt be fitted. I was originally going to replace the pot but instead built up the shaft using two part epoxy putty (milliput). I also filled in the gap between the halves of the volume pot to strengthen it. The knobs are easy to fit now and there's no danger of half the shaft breaking off again.
