Is a Lp wiring kit hard to assemble??

i want to wire my lp back to a lp but ill keep the killswitch

anyway is a kit like this hard to assemble? and is it any good?

here is some info about it

What's in the kit:

(2) 500K RS Short-Shaft SuperPots™- We designed these pots in conjunction with CTS. Used for the volume controls in the kit, these pots have a custom taper that gives you a noticeable difference between each number on your volume control. You can finally roll your volume down to 2 or 1 and not loose any clarity, even in the neck position. A smoother resistor path make this the best pot to ever be used in the guitar.
(2) 500K CTS Short-Shaft Audio taper pots
(1) RS .022 GuitarCap®- The guitar cap is the first and only capacitor designed specifically for the guitar. This part is the only capacitor in the world that meets our stringent quality-control standards, not only because of its construction, but because of how great it sounds in the tone circuit!! The .022 microfarad GuitarCap® is best for the bridge position tone control of your guitar.
(1) RS .015 GuitarCap®- This is the same great GuitarCap® as above, just in .015 microfarad. This is best used for the neck tone control.
(1) Length vintage-black wire- Used for the grounding in the circuit.
(1) 4-foot length braided wire- Used for wiring switch.
(1) Long 3-way toggle switch- Manufactured by Switchcraft.
(1) Input Jack- Manufactured by Switchcraft.

Re: Is a Lp wiring kit hard to assemble??

I have that same kit in my Les Paul and many highly recommend them.

It's not difficult to install but takes patience. At least for me, I took it slow and tried to make everything as neat as possible. If you don't want to spend the time putting everything together you could always get one of their pre-wired kits. I think if I had to do it over again that's what I would have done just to save some time.
