Telecaster Upgrades

Following my Firebird upgrades are changes to my Telecaster. I wanted to return to my Tele roots by taking out the P-90 I had installed and going with a Lollar Tele special set. Also, I wanted to install a mini-toggle switch to allow me to switch the pickups into series for some added oomph. Overall, I must say my technique on this project falls as the best wiring project I have ever done. All the joints are clean and crisp, and I picked up some technique from looking at how other builders wire their guitars up. I have no buzz or noise in the circuit at all. I'm a little proud of that =D. I had some initial problems with the switch because it's not the standard switchcraft I'm used to, and you have to wire it slightly different.

Unfortunately, I'm not quite happy with this configuration yet. I used a 500k pot for the volume and a standard 0.47 mF tone capacitor and I think it sounds way too bright. I'm going to swap out the volume pot for 250k and the tone capacitor for 0.22 mF to hopefully warm the guitar up a bit.
