Hi Fretty, been a while since an update. Interesting wiring options I like it ! I'd get Pablo to cut a custom pickguard so your switches aren't coming out of the 5 way switch slot and you have plugged the usual volume pot hole.
With the veneer on HS I do it similar to Tony. I usually glue it on before I shape the HS. Cut the veneer oversized, glue it and clamp to the max with a flat piece of wood. You may need a round object to hold it down near the curve near the nut.
After glue has dried and remove clamps, sit veneer side on a flat surface and carefully cut most of the excess off with a sharp stanley knife. Then carefully sand or file edges that won't be shaped.
Then I cut the headstock shape then clean up as usual

It's been a long time, but its entering the final stages now.

I like the squared off headstock more than the snakehead round one another company comes out with.
Looks good
-
The headstock looks great Fretty. The squared off look is great given the new tuner spacing. Winsh I wad done this on my tele build now. Will be great to see this one finished and hear a demo maybe? ;)
cheers,
Gav.

It's all together now. Need to do all the set up things - nut, neck relief, intonation, all that stuff. But it is together and the electronics are all a-ok. Although I won't try and record it until its set up.

Looks great Frets, nice choice with the wiring too.

Wow, looks awesome dude.
cheers,
Gav.

nice build Fretty, bet it took a while to string up !
some nice ash grain goodness there !
What are the pups Toneriders ?
-
The pickups are Tonerider Surfaris.
And it would have taken less time to string up if I wasn't using the cheapo strings, tied in a knot that the factory supplied. I had to guess which strings were which after I finally untangled them.
