    Last coat of primer to the body. I think I'm close. You always seem to miss something, a tiny mark etc

    Pearloid pickguard. Wasn't that an effort.

    Have never made a pickguard. It was certainly an effort. Thanks Chuck

    I'm about to start my wiring. Just a few questions for those of you who know. Should I shield the cavity and the surf caster has two lipstick pick ups one vol one tone and a three way switch. Which wiring diagram should I use!?

    Shielding is always a good idea where possible, especially with single coils. This diagram will work.
