Be careful not to adjust the pickups too high or the strings won't properly interact with the magnetic field and the tone will suffer.
I'd look into a magnet swap, myself.

I'm not quite sure what to make of that picture.
My gut tells me that no matter what you try, you will mar the finish somehow. If you are lucky, the finish will merely lose its luster and can be fixed. If you are unlucky, you could end up with a red-sock-in-the-laundry type of color bleed. You really need to know what the finish and pin stripes are each made from.
My advice: first ask yourself what you would do if you accidentally ruin the finish.

I did something similar with three fuzzes in one box.
I used a 3p4t switch and each had their own set of LEDs
all the "inputs" one one pole
all the "outputs" on another pole
different colour LED on the other pole
you can get different types of rotary for make-before-break or break-before-make which may or may not have different levels of pop
I dont recall my pedal having huge pop. I included a master true bypass with another indicator LED, too.
There was also another booster on another bypass footswitch on the way out, just to complicate further.
I used a strip of vero for a power bus (9v, ground, and if I recall CLR)

Forget taking pictures of the aftermath, can you take pictures of it happening.
I'm sorry for your loss, but that sounds legitimately awesome. Someday you'll look back on this and say "that was sooooo coool" like your inner child knows you would have done if it had been anyone else's build.

I just ordered all of the parts for a 50w plexi. Im at $500 in quality parts. This is excluding a cabinet, so that price seems very fair. The wiring could be cleaned up a bit, but it looks like a solid build. People are saying they wouldn't pay that price are expecting the builder to essentially make it for free, and give a discount on parts. Make an amp for $600, sell it for less? Not happening.

that depends ... if the amp is noisy then yeah, that wiring is a problem.
listen, I don't care to debate this issue of wire routing because some people really are into 90 degree bends and perfection and I'm not going to win them over no matter what I say. I will say that I've built similar amps with similar wiring and had no trouble and I've had little fender champs give me grief if everything wasn't perfect AND shielded. that is something the builder should have sussed out before offering it for sale and you should be able to discern on test drive.
