Getting wires through holes on L5S

[seagulc]

Hi guys

I'm having some trouble wiring my L5S. I have the switch location in Les Paul position. There's a tiny hole to run the wire from the switch presumably to the pots and jack. When I try to push a wire through, it gets stuck - I can't get it through the other end, I've been trying for an hour now. I have a suspicion that the hole leads to the pickup because my pot and jack cavity has 3 holes - one for the bridge ground, one for the neck pickup, and one for the bridge pickup. I'm not sure where the switch wire would come through, maybe the neck pickup hole. I already have my pickups mounted. Is there some kind of trick I can do to get the wire through, or do you guys think maybe there isn't even a path for the wire to go from the switch to the pots?

hope  that made sense, thanks in advance

Have you tried going through the hole with a guitar string, ball end first?  I think it would be either a diagonal channel or through the neck pickup.

Vacuum cleaner and a string might work too.

I thought this usually goes under the neck pickup, I'm surprised you mounted the neck pickup before routing this wire. Maybe take it off and the whole thing will become clear. If all else fails you can drill from neck pickup rout to switch cavity.

Well.. it turns out it does go under the neck pickup after all. I ended up having to unmount it and put the wires through. Sorry for the trouble guys, I should've checked that out further before I made the post.
