Sounds great! the p90s are rad. The trem is awesome, but im still getting the guitar setup, the intonation needs to be tweaked and i think ill just take it into a shop to get that all sorted.

Get it into GOTM contest mate, a real contender
Very nice.
OMG Matty she's beautiful! Best 2V I've ever seen. How does she play? I love how mine feels, especially the neck profile.
cheers,
Gav.
Looks good. Like Woks, I'm interested in the Bigsby. That break angle looks quite severe - I did think it might be too shallow. But at that angle, there will be a lot of friction over the bridge saddle, so tuning stability might not be that good when using it. If so, think about swapping to a roller saddle bridge.
It does look a bit like the bridge is wound down as low as it can go, yet the action does look a little on the high side. Planning on rubbing down the wooden base of the bridge?
Yeah the action is a little high at the 12th, i may do what you mentioned and sand down the base of the bridge. I actually bought a roller bridge with the idea of using that but the posts in the wood are too small for it, so in the near future i will create something that fits it and get it in.
Other than that the break angle is all good on the Bigsby but i still need to set the intonation right before i can give it a proper sound test, it's pretty fiddly to do however so ill need a little bit of time to dial it in (or send it to the shop to get right)
That's the trouble with a floating bridge. Even if it's got a tune-o-matic on top. the moment you knock the bridge enough to move it, your intonation's all out again. You might as well get used to doing it now, as it could need doing quite regularly.
Love the fact you kept the sides and back natural, as the offset the white top so well. Congrats on a cracking build!
