Hi Martin

Looks good so far!

You can get regular size 1 meg pots from Mojo Tone. I used one for this projects tone pot. I made my own blend control knob from a strat style tone knob. It's easy to do if your in need of one.

I think the Volume-Pot would be 250K Audio and Tone-Pot would be 1Meg. Linear, w/.05 cap.

Hi Dave,

that's a cool GuitSteel.
Do you play Jr. Brown songs or do you do your own or other songs ?

That's correct. I have a diagram somewhere if you need it.

Thanks.

I love Jr. Brown but but I don't have those skills. Classic rock and old country for me.
