Hi Mark, I am using CTS pots on a Jag build with no pickguard, I want to use your dish method (like it lots), do you recommend short or long shaft on the pots? Cheers TC

I've just done the dish method for my carve top today. I put something flat inside the cavity then used a vernier gauge to check the depth of the holes and routered the cavity till the holes were about 6mm. Regular cts pots fit fine.

As @nsj say, regular length shafts should be ok. The threaded part of a normal pickup switch is probably about the same length as well. Check the thickness around the holes regularly while routing the control cavity.

Thank you both for you advice, as this is only my third build I will probably have heaps of questions, Cheers

@nsj cheers for that

@swepri Good advice, cheers
