Howdy, new guy on the boards here.
Sorry if this has been posted already, I used the search function but wasn't able to find anything.
I'm working on repairing the wiring on a Hezz semi-hollow, and have run into a small issue. I have the pots sunk into the body (still accessible with floss, a crude but effective method) but am still unable to properly access the pots themselves. The first issue is that the components wired between the pots don't allow for the necessary maneuverability, but the main issue is that the f-holes themselves are too small to pull the entire wired array out of the cavity. I've attached a few links to pictures to illustrate the issue. (file sizes were too big to attach directly)
I was wondering if anyone else has come across this, and if so (or if not) have any recommendations as to how to access the electronics?

Thanks!

Take out the bridge pickup and you'll have a big hole to draw out the wire, pots, jacks, and all.

A few things to check:
Ground wire? Is that holding it up?
Output Jack? Is that holding it up?
