At least you can play it! Can I suggest some push-back cotton-covered cable for the wiring? PB have it in their shop. It's way nicer than the plastic stuff, and doesn't make a bubbly melty mess if you get a bit much heat into it. If you are using the stock pots now you could solder up a new set of electrics using better Bournes or other pots from PB and then transfer it across when you are ready
Also, the old-school poisonous lead based solder seems to work a whole let better than the tin based stuff too, and tinning the metal is a good idea
