I finally got around to rewiring my Heritage last night, all was going good, nice clean soldering, everything checked out...until I soldered the switch ground. In 20+ years I have never had a switch short on me. It's the neck side at the ground connection. But, I see no runaway solder or anything that would actually cause the short.

My question is: Is rosin/flux conductive, all I see is a little rosin on the spacers...could that actually be shorting the neck contact?
