SG jr: Starting the Electronics

The wiring for an SG junior is very simple: 1 volume, 1 tone, 1 pickup, 1 jack, 1 capacitor.  While I waited for the finish to dry between sessions of French polishing, I did some of the wiring for the controls.  Plus I couldn't sleep, and what do we all do when it's 2am and we can't sleep? That's right, we solder!

I like to use the control cavity holes to create a cardboard template for holding the pots & jack in the correct locations relative to each other.  Makes final assembly much easier.  I'll line the cavity with copper foil, then just run the wires for the pickup and bridge stud ground, a couple of solder connections, and be good to go.
