superb tele build Glenn, very nice, well done
A little more work on the Yellow Peril today. First and foremost, I've created the headstock decal and applied it (again, in part as a test run for the Red Menace). Pretty pleased with the result! I need to get some clear lacquer to go over it. This is the laser-printed version of the water-slide decal paper you can get online. I found that the black started to come away if I got too keen about wiping water off, so dabbing is the go.

Also, despite having shielded cavities a few weeks ago, the dear thing had developed an onboard buzz, so I needed to trace that. If you look carefully you'll see no ground wire to the pickup cover on the neck pickup. That's because, when I took the covers off, I saw that bit of stray wire and stupidly thought I'd tidy up before working out what the problem was ... Eventually I worked out that that was actually the problem, so I got a new piece of ground wire, stripped the ends and restored that ground wire. All should now be well. This, of course, also gave me the opportunity to photograph the innards for posterity!
