So started to do the wiring on the ES on Saturday and lay it all out and soldered the main harness then measured three times and then connected the pickup wiring. During a quick check found that I had made the harness 1 inch too short and the rear top pot wouldnt reach its hole. After a major flipout did a cut and shut and started to fit. Found that the easiest way to get the pots in was to use the old electricians friend "zip ties". Gently spread the two halves of pot stem, inserted tie and then gently crimped.
about ten minutes to fit all in.
Will have a go at fitting neck tommorow and hopefully be able to near complete on weekend.
That thing is just perfect mate
That's a stunning finish Tony, nice work.
Cheers,

awesome Tony, you really popped the flames nicely and red with gold bling looks superb. Also well done on getting the wiring done, hardest part of this build
