As above, start with the neck relief. Capo the first fret, press down on the last fret and check the gap. You want the thickness of a piece of paper (or a scratch lower or higher, but not much. I go a touch lower). Tune the guitar again and check again. Once that's right, yes adjust your action...

Mine has the 85/15-S pickups which have the screw coil as hot so sending both series links to ground is what was originally intended for these. I have to admit I initially I split the series link on the bridge pickup and cocked up, putting the screw coil out of phase with the slug. I forgot how...

Thanks for these. I was looking at the thread Malloc linked to and was thinking that's the way I'll go, but now I'm thinking I like the simplicity of a 3 way switch for a two pickup guitar. Just had to look up the functions of a DP3T switch to work out how that wiring works! I'll give your...
