I just put new pickups and a new wiring harness in my Gretsch 6120. It was the first time I ever installed pickups in a hollow body. Having now completed the job, here's my advice: Unless you have an incredible amount of patience, NEVER NEVER NEVER EVER do this. It was just about the most tedious thing I've ever done. It involves lots of running string through F-holes and pot and jack holes, tying it around parts and gently pulling the part to the hole only to have the string fall off and have to start over. It took hours and hours (I also had to enlarge some component mounting holes). I look forward to the next time I install pickups on a solid body, it'll be like a vacation.
1 I hear you brother!
I spent about 3 days changing out all the components in my Epi Sheraton. I know exactly where you're coming from, bro.
