Let's say I want a Strat body with a pickguard, but the only body that aesthetically suits me in the showcase is rear-routed.
If I have the body routed for S-S-S and standard Strat controls, is it possible to use pickguard-mounted electronics? I guess I will have to route the channel between the pickups, install the pickguard with only the pickups mounted, then install the pots & switch from the back.
Am I missing a step, or a detail which makes this setup undesirable? And is there a way to ensure the pickguard and the routing for the pots/switch on the top will match?
