Bah, wrong colour.
Only kidding. Can we see a pic in a swimsuit too?
(No, not you.)
The wiring loom is pre-made in a sort of horseshoe shape with the cable holding the whole thing together. There is a slot cut in the centre block under the bridge pickup big enough to get the whole lot into the guitar, after wiring the pickups to the volume pots. It's then a case of papering your hall through the letter box to get everything into the right holes.
In the late 50's early 60's 335's they didn't have the cutaway in the centre block and the whole lot had to go in through the f- hole! I've done it ... not fun
Lovely guitar @markj
Lovely guitars but they make you work to get the best from them. Your amp is *AS* important to your 335 sound.
I must stress, it was me who decided to go all out for total authenticity ... I wanted to see exactly how close I could get ... even copying the characteristic place the screw coil earth wire is soldered and the way the coils are double taped. Will those touches make a difference to the sound? No, but I'll know they're there.

They are obviously the best sounding finish!
