The good thing with using a full face scratchplate is that you don't have to have the cleanest route... you could just remove the wood between the 2x pups and make a large 'swimming pool route' like they do on some strats

Hey Shazz. Pup rings fit with about 1-2mm gap each side so it's tight but will work. The pups and rings are full size humbuckers. I think you should use the access to the power tools you have. Have a practice run on a router first with scrap wood and the closer you get the template the better the route will be. Just copy the bridge pup route shape for the template
I was going to go for flamed veneer version for my 3 pups SG, but in the end I'm glad I didn't as I wouldn't have been able to reshape the bevels.
I found the bevels way too small on the standard kit, made the edges almost square instead of the 'blade-like' profile I had in mind for an SG.
Welcome back Shazz!
hi SHAZZ thanks for your reply, ive actually finished the build and like you I'm gonna have to do a total rewire (crappy wire came with the kit resulting in lots of buzz/noise )
also did you have any trouble with the trem system ? when I fitted it the two screws that hold it to the top of the guitar are not supported underneath so one of them is being pulled out of the body by use of the trem and I expect the other will follow.
the trem bar also sits way too high off the body.
any help is much appreciated, thanks again NULLIG. p.s. did you do fret leveling ?
