I decided to rewire my guitar! I attacked it with aplomb and started snipping wires off the pick-up selector, the pots and pulling said parts off the guitar. next I tried yanking on the wires that lead to the switch and was greeted with a lot of resistance. So i pulled harder and a wire broke just outside of the channel to the switch compartment. Basically all the wires were crammed so tightly that I can figure out how to get them out, and I don't want to break them all making it even harder!! By the way they used shielded wire from the pot to the switch.
Any body have any suggestions?
Pictures?

I'd have to care to be punked.

Given the number of questionable things that happen 'round here, I give people the benefit of the doubt. Nothing personal here...

The only logical move you could make now is attack your guitar with a coconut. We'll be waiting for the video...
A peach, or a pear, or a coconut? Please!

That's just cold, cold, cold...

Just got a new assistant, guy named Gallagher. He keeps reaching for the big hammer - wants to show me how to do a "watermelon burst."
