Purple Mustang is finally dry, so I’ve been assembling and finally got down to electronics and I realized I ran my pickup wires through the mounting holes… so now I need to unpot them and reroute the  wire….. I don’t need any help, just commiserate with me 😭

Ah @somethingnicer, that sucks, I feel for you, man.
