Hey great job. just had mine delivered. But my issue is how the hell do you get the wiring into the body?

Hey Chazking sorry in the delayed response, you probably have it all built already! Anyway if not you run wires from all penetrations in the body and pull them out the bridge pup hole. Then attach the wires to the tone/volume pots switches and jacks. Slowly pull them back thru till they are all out their correct hole and run the locking nuts down the wires and screw them on securing all hardware. try the jack first maybe even twist it a bout half a turn counter clockwise before you tighten it down with the lock nut, its nearly impossible to get that bad boy really tight without twisting it about that much in the clockwise direction. feed all wires and pickups in thru the bridge cavity and then feed the neck pickup thru the neck cavity and finally the bridge pickup comes back out. its not too difficult with the right technique. I used braided 12 gauge electrical wire for all the guide wires and I took some of the braided copper and wrapped it around the pots stem to get them to their locations without falling off in the body. also I took a outline of the guitar body and made all wires the proper lengths so that they would run in a way that they wouldn't be running thru the f-hole where you could see them.Originally Posted by Chazking
