Default Tube kit

I just bought a 5120, I'm picking up some tv jones pickups and a wire harness. I'm curious what the tube kit is for.

Hi , Get the tube kit believe me on this one. You put the clear plastic tubing on the pots and pull them thru the holes in the guitar after sodering the new pickups on the pots. Also the wooden dowl allows you to pull the output jack in place and all these things are soooo much easier with the tube kit.

Thanks Rickvox!

I've got Lace Alumitone Humbuckers waiting for me to put them in 'Athena Rosa,' my Tennessee Rose.

And I've got that Wire Harness and the Tube Kit to help me!

Unfortunately Time is hard for me to come by these days. It turns out I have to work this Sunday, which was when I planned to do the operation. But one of these days ..........

Thanks for the advice! I've never been on any kind of forum at all, and this has already paid off.
