Which leads me to a dumb question. Do I have to ground the pot? I use a metal pin for a bridge, does it have to be grounded there? Any other options or alternatives?

I notice Musician's Friend is selling Squier by Fender Telecaster pickups, they appear to be an OEM replacement part and the cost is USA $ 12.99.

Justin,
Thanks for the tip. I tried your method and it worked perfect. Forstner bit to cut the ends and a jig saw & file to do the rest. Thanks, again for your post.

Having not even finished my first build, I'm far from an expert. But I did cut a nice hole for my pickup and I can tell you how I did it. Depends a lot on the tools you have available to you.
My pickup has rounded ends, so I measured and it's 3/4" wide. I measured and laid out two 3/4" holes the proper distance apart. I drilled them with a forstener bit and connected them with the scroll saw. You could just as easily do the straight cuts with a coping saw if you don't have a scroll saw. Leave a little extra meat on your cuts so you can size them with a file. This left me with a perfect cutout my pickup slides right into.
Hey bro. Not to be a shameless self promoter but you can go to the Smokehouse Guitars group and go to any of the featured discussions for neck construction and installation. The methods described there apply to any kind of neck from 3 string to any string.
Take care.

Well, I have to post, things did not work out so well on routing the cavity in the neck.
I did not want the pup protruding too far out from the top of the box, which resulted in it being lower inside the box. This meant I had to carve a deeper cavity completely through the neck and into the piece of wood reinforced under the neck.
When I cut completely through the neck, it lost all its strength and it was evident it was not going to hold up to the tension when strung.
So, a set back or a learning opportunity?
Now, trying to figure out how to build using the 'neck bolt' method.
That is funny you should reply. After I posted this, I did go to Smokehouse and read your instruction guide. Very cool and full of a lot of advice (love al the pictures). Thanks for your help. I think I'm ready to have a try at it.
Thanks!
