Those tips are great! Thank you. Any advice on getting the pickup covers off the pickups? They aren't loose (I thought they were but was wrong) and seem pretty firmly attached. 😬 There's also a ground wire soldered to that large metal shield that covers the electronics cavity.

Thank you for the advice Aphek. I'll do all of that shielding, already have the pickups out and the covers are loose so should hopefully come off without too much trouble. Wouldn't have thought of that bit 👍 That's interesting about there being some factory reverse-P configs. I've never seen...
