Fín. 

This thing is pretty kickass.  I did a three-way switch instead of the 4 way.  I ordered the control plate cheap off A-zon. It was pre-wired.  After much troubleshooting I determined the volume pot was trash and wouldn't pass signal.   But before I figured that out I had tried all these different wiring methods on the 4way to no avail, and reverted back to the simpler option.  Now, of course I want to go back to the 4 way, but haven't.  Might just play it this way since I already have a more standard tele.  

I also had to get new saddles. Previous were graphtech offset screw type, that covered up the string holes because the tray isn't an offset style. Bought some more like a strat with center holes. Works great. 

But the neck feels great, the sound is biting but can be thick enough, the color is awesome, and i can play the action pretty low.   Just need a more comfortable strap.  Working on that.  Probably won't get a case, since I have a bunch and if I need to transport, I can figure it out.

Bad chip somewhere I'd guess. Difficult to troubleshoot without shotgunning (the act of blindly replacing in hopes of finding the offending component) parts.  But at least you know it's before the volume stage.

Gig of a lifetime. It was unreal. There were 18 musicians in total. heres the set up. It was all improvised but with a conductor giving some direction in real time.
