There is no denying that he was a phenomenal talent and that he was a very important figure in the early rock scene. But I never really got the Elvis bug.
You see when I was a kid growing up, I used to hear "That's the king of rock'n'roll". Then the clip would come on the telly of a man in white sparkly pajamas with a fat head and singing a mushy ballad, I had no idea that he was even the same guy that sang all those cool rock n roll songs in the 50's. It wasn't til adulthood that I learned to appreciate just how talented he was.. I think it was probably seeing a rerun of the 68 come back show on telly that I put two and two together and thought, Hey this guy is pretty good.

I love all the early rock n roll stuff he did.

My choice is this.

I once sold a mim fender on eBay. As others have mentioned there is a fee which is a percentage of the price you sell it for. I, like you, had tried Gumtree and other buy\swap\sell type sites and didn't get any interest. In the past I have even asked my local guitar store to put stuff in the window for me but they take a fair chunk of the percentage for their trouble.
I guess that in our current world wide economic slump, it is a buyers market and you may not find anybody willing to pay what th y are really worth.
If you do put them on eBay you have to be pedantic about describing its condition, some buyers will go over it with a magnifying glass before leaving good feedback.
.. If you are not too fussed about a quick sell, you can put a reserve price on them.

Nice score. I want one too.

Well, if you have any experience of soldering, then all you need to do is look up a wiring diagram... It's as easy as followinga road map. There are some great links to diagrams in the sticky thread called useful information, and look up the DIY thread link.
You will also find useful info about removing and fixing controls in hollow body guitars, which can be fiddly.
I wish you luck with your tone quest.

A great money saver for you might be to offer your complete scratch guard and pickup assembly for swap with an sss... there is bound to be someone looking for a cheap route to a hh configuration.
