    Wiring this thing wasn't as hard as I'd thought it'd be. The main thing I found was preparation was everything. To do it I used a shoe box and on the lid I did a mirror image of the loom so when I remove it it'd fit the right way on the guitar. Once I'd wired the loom I made sure all of the wire lengths were just about on point so there wasn't much deviation when they were in the cavity. The hardest part to position was the jack on the far end of the body. To position it I fed a piece of wire though the jack and tied a big knot on the bottom so it wouldn't pull through. I then fed the wire through the jack hole and pulled the jack right through the body and into position. Pushed the wire back out into the cavity and extracted with needle nose pliers and it was sweet. The pots were easy enough to put my pinky through the f hole and position.

    This is the final product:

    With the annoying mark I decided to keep this one looking a little bit used. Very happy with how it turned out and the electronics worked first try with no issues. Will hopefully post a video demo in the coming week.

    Hope you guys enjoyed the build and sorry it was a quick one!
