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 😭

Measure twice, cut once... or beter say: Look closely, solder 1 time. 😭 🤣

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

Still, I bet you never do it again!

As Harry Enfild once said, "You don't wanna do it like that" 🤣

Oof, that’s a classic "why did I do that?" moment—we’ve all been there! At least you caught it before everything was fully buttoned up. Annoying, but hey, just part of the DIY guitar-building adventure, right? Hope the rerouting goes smoothly, and can’t wait to hear how the Purple Mustang turns out!
