Well done!
Dowel pieces stuck in place with titebond overnight, then brought down flush with assistance from the trusty Dremel. Bridge then attached with new screws.

I wanted to add some sort of signature to the headstock, and my surname stats with an F. But I wasn't really happy with how that was looking, so I went with a geometric detail instead, matching some tattoo work I've had done over the last year.
I also had some leftover fret marker decals to work with, so the finish is nice and consistent for an added bonus.

And... the finished product.

The intonation is mostly good. I do need to adjust the action though, but I've got some proper measurement tools on the way, so I'll probably stop tinkering for now. As it is, I'm loving the tone, even with the kit pickups. The flatwounds I've got on it are probably helping.
Very nice work. Glad the bridge screw fix worked.
If the saddles need to come back even more to get the intonation correct, then just make sure that the ball-end wrap doesn't end up resting on the saddles. You'll need to cut it back if it does, and maybe secure any loose ends with a small drop of CA.
That looks great. The black hardware and fret markers go well together.
Yes, well done that has come up a treat in its entirety
Nice job. I’ve never felt the need to upgrade the pickups on my JB-4. Which makes if the only build I have with a full set of the kit pickups....
I missed this one... Nice work dozy.
I agree the brown/black/maple work really well together.
