And setting it in place it all looks pretty Shmick, I'm not 100% happy with it's there is some inaccuracy on some of the curves and the lower(upper) horn screw hole seems to have drifted 1-2mm too far south(north).

In looking at it though, I wonder if it is all a bit shiny, so I'm thinking I might Matte it off in a similar fashion to this.

I may sleep on that as I have no electrics for this thing so it isn't going anwhere and I still need to apply the final coats on the neck and HS face. It's not like there's any lack of things to do in the FrankenLab. Thoughts and opinions fellow forumites?

White PUP covers, control knobs and selector switch tip might help?
Nah, I looked at that with the pups from the Korean ST, it did nothing for me.Quote:

I suppose it npmakes no difference either way. I am set on matte now, I like the contrast in texture.Quote:

Yeah, I’ve fixed that now Simon, but thanks for the pick up.Quote:
