![Donner Hush X—has anyone here removed the control panel? [SOLVED]](https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/1f84c45a-0682-4b86-9449-b1a1fff2fabc.jpeg){kind=link}
I have a Donner Hush X and wanted to replace the pick-up selector switch.
I’ve unscrewed the control panel but it doesn’t seem to lift off the guitar body. It might just be a bit stiff and need a little more heft; but I’m wondering if it’s soldered to a PCB board and so can’e be opened up with out damaging things.
Has anyone inspected inside or found any YT videos or internal diagrams? I can’t find any.
TIA 👍
PS Here’s a Dropbox link to a video of me gingerly pulling the control plate around (which wouldn’t upload to Lemmy, in the OP). https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/v7n74q9m252hxrc17f7eb/IMG_0808.mp4?rlkey=qau7d4zum0qswswwngkivenvc&dl=0
Looks like the strings’ ends are pressing it up to the body. Maybe try taking off the strings?
Thanks for the suggestion. The bit with the strings in is separate.

Does it maybe pull out sideways? Like if you turn the guitar so you’re looking at the side and then pull it out like a book from a shelf?
Edit: Also what does the front look like? Are the pickups screwed into the same piece of plastic? Maybe the pickup screws go through the plastic into the body?
