Well yes, it was necessity that forced my hand. The bridge vol pot kept seizing up, the tone pots are yamaha push/push pots (2006 yamaha sg2000) that don't seem to be 100% clever since the stock pickups were changed, and I wanted to try another neck pickup, so going to do a full rewire and pickup change together.
