I got some new goodies for Christmas which included a new set of CTS pots including a blend pot from Callaham Guitars. There are quite a few variations of wiring for this set up, but one that really plays well for the Deluxe is one I found here http://www.guitartechcraig.com/techwire/tech01.jpg as it uses the DPDT which is already there for the Players strat.

As I recall from when I put in my Texas Specials, the shield on the pick guard goes around rather than under the spot where this DPDT switch is glued to the pickguard. I don't know if that was for convienence or if that switch can't be grounded. My challenge now is that I also have a full aluminum shield that I was planning to use and I need to determine if I can attach the switch to that shield, or if I need to cut around it to ensure correct connectivity.

Anybody have an idea there?

I also have a question on blend pots in general. There are at least a couple of varieties. One is the Fender no load pot which is what I think Callaham is emulating. The other is atrue blend pot with 6 lugs. That one is easy to understand, but I am not quite clear on what is happening with the first one.
Thanks,
GB
