I bought a Showcase body a little while ago and finally today I got around to doing the electronics on it, or so I thought. I quickly realized that the wiring route does not make it all the way to the controls.
The body is a carved top Tele with H-H pickups and a LP style selector switch.
Am I missing something? The control cavity has two entry points for wires, one for the bridge pickup and one for the ground wire from the bridge. I'm not very confident that I would be able to drill a hole from the control cavity that hits the channel. It also needs to be a fairly large hole since it has to include the wires to/from the switch. My best guess is that the channel and the control cavity are 2 to 3 inches apart right now.
Is there some sort of luthier trick that I'm missing here? I can't for the life of me figure out what to do other than send it back to Warmoth. I do have an email in to them.
Thanks for any help.
