Ah, hadn't thought about sun heating the putty. Could be a bit embarrassing . . ..
Will have to think through the wiring. Would have to pull enough wire through so that the soldering can be done >outside< the guitar, and then may have some slack that will have to be dealt with inside.
Thanks for your insight.
