There is a vid on YouTube which explained how you can do it without any problems. Trick is using surgical tubing and plugs so you can pull everything out of the pick up cavities and pull them in the same way using the tubing and plugs. But I understand your concerns Absolutely. Its straight-forward if you know how. Wasn't sure if you were comfortable with that type of work or not. For everything there is a first. And I got a friend who is good with this kind of work. So if I mess it up he can fix it

My TE-90 P90 had a bone nut and tuners were fine also the jack was fine! Good to hear I heard alot about it and I find it a stunning looking guitar that looks nice to play (don't know how to write comfterble)

Due to musical differences I've decided I can't work with myself any more.

I really like my MS-60 VW. Is the neck very thick or thin? Always good to hear from an owner Just had a chance to play my MS-60 VW and I'd call the neck a shallow D. I was only playing unplugged but, boy, does that thing resonate. Just made up a new riff for the middle of a song I'd been working on too! Don't forget the MS-60 is a short scale neck.

The MS-60 is probably my most played guitar, I prefer the sound of my Casino but it’s just so big I can’t be bothered with it sometimes.

I know you are not proposing any pickup or pot changes but if you were you should note that it's a lot more awkward on the CST-24TOL and the TE-90QM as both of these are semi-hollow with no access through the back. So you would have to work via the f-holes in order to get at the wiring. There is a vid on YouTube which explained how you can do it without any problems. Trick is using surgical tubing and plugs so you can pull everything out of the pick up cavities and pull them in the same way using the tubing and plugs. But I understand your concerns If you never worked inside a semi-hollow before this statement is a myth. It is very hard and you will be on the brink of throwing the guitar at the wall several times if you switch the complete eletronics stuff including the jack. Trust me - been there (almost) done that.

Not just me then. It all started off nicely but then something fell off inside and a thread lasso needed to be made...which lassoed something it wasn't supposed to and wouldn't let go. Not my favourite Sunday.
