Very impressive. Glad it’s turned out so well for you.

Yeah that has come up great. The white pick guard on the grey really works well.

Looks great Marc. Very nice finish.
I know what you mean with the electrics. Had the same issues.
I also replaced the nut with a TUSQ lefty for a strat. Just needed to sand it down slightly.

Looks great!

Thanks Colin,

Out of curiosity what did you have to do to get the tone pots working?

Hi Marc
On mine the active wire was soldered to the outside lug. I moved it to the centre lug and also removed some stray solder that was earthing to the case.
The photos on page 2 of my build diary show the tone pots correctly soldered.
