with no back access panel, no f holes, does everything have to be done through the pickup holes? how would you change pots and such?

It would be a little more extreme than working on a 335, but would be very similar.  I'm assuming that they have a lot larger routing channels than you would on a regular LP.

well apparently its very weight relieved. so it must have a sizeable cavity at least in that area of the guitar.

If someone came to me with that and asked for help changing the pots I'd tell them to go away!

Seriously.  Even my guitar tech said how awful it is working through f holes.  I could only imagine this

It wouldn't be a problem. Nothing would get worn out enough to need replacing because the dude that would buy that would just hang it on the wall to look at next to the Private stocks.

haha good point. but they actually arent THAT expensive. you can find them used for $2,500 or so
