The shame... The pain...

[Techy Beccy]

I decided to rewire another semi-hollow body guitar I have since the last one worked out pretty good.

I finished wiring a pretty good harnesses late last night and then when I finished - realised - I'd wired it back to front! :doh:

Im not sure I should post a pic :scared:

Has anyone done this before and what's the quickest / easiest way to fix it without starting from scratch? I had pretty consistent solid wiring - no splices :guilty:

Side note: I have a set of Seth Lovers to put in

What do you mean by back to front?

Re: The shame... The pain...

If the switch is backwards then spinning it round would work
Is it a toggle or blade
We are gonna need just a bit of information

Are the knobs backwards? The pickups? The strings?

Im going to have to unsolder and resolder a few bits. My soldering iron died too.

Yeah
Looks like you left out the bridge to switch connection

Yeah its there, under the other cable. Its a 50's style harness.
It was wired back to front so I pulled it apart and re-did it.

I just did the pickup test check and its all working ok! I did have to unsolder and re-solder the pots and switch. And new soldering iron. Im a bit disappointed with how long it felt like it took me to do! Even though I stuffed it up and re-did it and probably did that quicker than the last one I made.
Here's some pics.
