I know I already replied to to a similar thread but here's another (and more recent) photo of another guitar with a pickguard sliced to make wiring access much easier. Want to change your guitar wiring? Don't remove the strings and the pickguard - just remove four screws.  That was done by just using a hacksaw blade - you don't even need the entire hacksaw and in fact, it's easier without the complete hacksaw. |

That will be improvement #1 that I do when I get my new pickguard.
Improvement #2 will be doing a similar thing under the middle puppy, so I can change batteries with less hassle.

Wouldn't it be easier to attach leads to whatever pickup(s) require batteries and then put the batteries into the sliced pickguard section?
In that way, you'll have to cut the pickguard just once.

This is where it gets fishy.
I need the battery for a Graphtech Ghost system that is eventually getting put in, but there isn't enough space in the normal cavity because I am planning on keeping the neck (and many) the middle SC that are in the guitar.
That puts me at 2 pots, 1 mini switch, a 3-way, AND the preamp for the Ghost system.
I need room. I figure I'll just pop a few more screws into the guitar, and probably see if I can find some VERY small threaded inserts to put into the body for the 2 sections that would be removed frequently.
