..and talented.....I'm not skilled at soldering. And this guy buys dozens of pots, tests and matches them, and then does a gorgeous assembly job. With the attached pigtail, you only have to match the pickup leads to the pigtail wires and make a connection, then solder the ground. Done. Precision soldering skills not required.

It definitely took a while, but with floss, guiding the new harness in wasn't too much trouble.
In Glacies case, it's an LP, which is a piece of cake. Literally 5 minutes plus soldering.
