Tried to replace the harness in a pretty blonde Sheraton last night but the CTS pots won't fit thru the f-holes. Now I could swear (and usually do non-stop) I've done a few of these before and used full sized pots to replace the factory minis; am I mistaken?
BTW, the owner is using a piar of Gibby 500t PUPs, new swicthcraft jack and switch also. Should be nice.

It's not a fun job, and it helps to make some "tools" and have a good pot snaking process, but I've re-potted more "f" hole g'tars than I can remember. I *always* use either CTS or GCE "full size" pots.

last time I replaced the loom on a semi, the whole lot went through the hole that the bridge pickup sits in.
