| The trick that you use with a hollow body or semi hollow body is to tie a long piece of string around the shaft of the pots and the toggle of the switch. Use kite string or similar.
That way, you can drop the controls/switches inside the body and fish them out with a screwdriver, chopstick or similar. If replacing the control/switch, simply move the string to the new piece and pull it back into place with the string.
If you don't have one, buy a telescoping inspection mirror at a tool or hardware store. They're priceless when it comes time to see what's going on inside the instrument.
If it's dark inside, simply shine a flashlight onto the mirror and aim it toward the area that you want to see.
One other thing...most hollow body instruments that I've looked in have some sort of metal tab near the center block to hang the wiring from. The inspection mirror will help you find all of the hidden little things.
The battery might be the most difficult thing about the whole project. I suppose that you could attach it to the back of one of the pickups if you don't mind pulling out a pickup to change the battery.
Have fun!!!
