There's also some glue squeeze out visible.
At least the top isn’t going to come un-glued!

So who’s going to wiring up pickup splitting first?
Can't imagine that'll be a very fun job.
The bridge block has a cutout for Piezo wires, so @jak3af3r may have accurately predicted the future.
I'm just relaying info I heard that I maybe wasn't supposed to hear. COO Jack was supposed to do the tour but they pulled another guy at the last second and I asked some questions most of which were answered and then on a tangent I heard about new models specifically the SE HB piezo.
I got it all put back together and did my usual SE mods - straplocks and US knobs.

So how do you get the pots out and the new ones back in place?
Assemble externally and pull through with fishing line around the posts is what I've always heard.
Yeah, no problem! I was surprised, they just slipped on like they belonged.US knobs fit well? Just got my SE HB and I don’t hate the stock knobs but I don’t love them either.
What garret said... compared to working on a 335 style (NEVER AGAIN), this thing would be cake. I would make a template with cardboard, mount the pots and switch in the cardboard, get all the wires just right, then feed everything through all in one go. This also has the advantage of having all the controls in the right spot where you can get your pinkie in to hold each component in place as you're tightening nuts and such.So how do you get the pots out and the new ones back in place?
Piezo.
I also bought one of every type of 10-$$$ that D’Addario makes to see how the guitar responds.
