Hi WB - yes they go through but only just once you solder on the metal braid wire I am using. I have actually got everything in place about 4 times and each time I get to the point of a basic sound check only to find that I have lost a solder joint with all the man - handling of the wiring harness. On the plus side I am getting better at getting the input jack and pots in place once they are through the f-hole using some thin gardening wire passed through the jack, and a thicker piece of wire with a magnet combined with some needle nose pliers to get the pots in place.

Also I did have to drill out the holes by a couple of mm to mount the cts pots, but was no drama.

The LP goldtop is an epiphone which has been an awesome guitar since the 90's when I bought it in the UK. The set-up from the guitar shop was just amazing, but I installed Gotohs, and a solid pickup selector switch to cope with the many hundreds of small gigs I have played since then.

The white guitar is a Chinese-made, Australian-retailed (non-kit) guitar I bought as a project for <$100 brand new, before I had even heard of building guitars from kits. I recently added in some Tonerider vintage pickups, Sprague cap (thank you Pitbull) and new wiring, and it sounds awesome, no more mods needed. I have also gigged with this guitar recently, but had a few backups just in case.

I am constantly impressed with the price/quality ratio of low end guitars these days compared to when I was a kid spending hundreds of bucks for some terrible str@t copy or a point headstock guitar.

Bass is a basic Yamaha 4-string for when bass-duties call.
