That string-thru plate will be interesting, I reckon it might add some chime or krrrrng to the end result.

Just to add, I did consider the added resonance that might arise through the back end and to cut down any unwanted vibration or ringing I've 2 pak glued the ferrules to the plate, I'll then glue the plate to the body, and finally resin in with solid rivets, I guess I'll find out for sure once it's strung up and plugged in :P

@wokka, like I said to Gav earlier, I'd just be happy to make it over the finish line with this build, that'll do me fine.

@fretworn - I plan on using these badboys(see pic), I just didn't wanna press them in at this point.

sounds like a cool plan Barge

Cleaned up the recess for the back plate, it looks tidy now.

Router bit, bearing and glue turned up from Stew Mac today so had a crack at cutting the binding channel.
Couldn't be happier really for a first attempt, nothing went wrong anyway so that's always a bonus :D

This is straight after the tape came off so no filling or scraping as of yet, f@#king stoked with the result, now I can relax. Just have to rout the humbucker cavity then I can think about paint, happy days.

looking really good Nigel, top work with the binding.
That ferrule plate is very slick too - some nice BL custom touches as always

Hehe thanks Stan, isn't it fun when things actually work out?

Looks fantastic Bargie. String through is awesome.

binding is gonna look so good once its all cleaned up!

Hey cheers Gav:-)
@ben - yeah it came up surprisingly well, it took a bit of filling on top due to the rolled edge they put on in the factory but you'd never know once the paint goes over top.
