@RocknRolf, @Trevor Davies, @Simon Barden -

Thank you all for the replies. I went ahead and ordered a harness with consideration for the location of the jack and it is being made with extended wiring. I did not however, consider the positions being different for tone/volume and can live with it if I dont end up changing it around. There should be room in the cavity to add the switch and based on some of the Pit Bull info and like Simon mentioned, I am figuring that I will probably need to ream the existing holes to accomodate different pots.

Thanks for the input on the neck, the scale length was spot on at 30.5" with the saddles set in the middle positions so if can glue it like this I probaby will leave it as it.

I will put some strings on to test the straightness. These tuners slip in from the back and are held on by 4 screws so my next step is probably algining the tuners and getting holes driled.

Any tips for test fitting the bridge? This is a 3 point bridge with inserts that let the mounting screws go into them. The PB guide mentions masking tape or tubing but the bridge would never be flush using that method.
