Have any of you removed a Piezo from an HB?

[Huggy Love]

I've almost got my SC HB broken down for a bit of work but can't figure out how to get the last circuit board out. The one with the switch & volume pot attached to it. The board itself seems to be able to fit thru either of the rectangle ports but the switch & pot prevent it from passing thru.

???

Any of you have any experience?
Can I call the PTC for tech spt?

......... or am I the only reckless luthier here?

What am I missing about this puzzle?

I can’t tell… the area below the bridge pickup is also hollow, but I don’t think it’s bigger than that opening.

Hard to say for sure from this photo, but I would try rotating the board while taking it out. From the bottom photo, push it back a cm or so to clear the wide edge, then rotate counter clockwise while moving the notch in the L over to the right edge.

Yes it is & that's exactly how it's done.
Good call.

Having never removed the board on mine I would have bet money it would have come out through the bottom like you tried, this is good to know, thanks.

Just out of curiosity what work are you doing on it? Never mind just saw your other post.
