bluefinllama The new pots seem scratchy when being turned though, do you guys have a cheap fix for improving it, read about deoxit, but seems expensive and would have to be imported
Yes! If there's a builder's warehouse near ya, they stock this. You'll find electrical contact cleaner at a range of places, sure RS have a brand of it too.
There's a tiny trick to cleaning pots, find the 'maintenance' hole, be liberal with your usage and turn the shaft while doing it - I think of it as: washing the pot out using the spray to dislodge any gunk in there., It can be iterative, so a couple goes might be need - not all pots can be saved (80-90% of the time it works for me) and occasionally you'll find the pot's shaft might loosen up a bit.
bluefinllama The frets on the guitar is tiny, struggling to re-crown them
I hate re-crowning. Even with appropriate tools I suck at it. Though I do like low frets, medium to small fretwire, but I'm weird like that. Never did get the jumbo fret thing, even though I'm told it's easier to play.
As long as you don't get much fret buzz you're okay for now. Were it a guido shreddy special, you might struggle to get a super low action though.
