Great job, Fred! Looks beautiful!
Fred, that looks superb! how come your CLR switch doesn't short on the copper shielding? I had to cut the shielding away from mine as the cavity wasn't deep enough.
PS how good are those Tonerider pure Vintage pups!!!!
Now to move over to the GOTM pages and enter! This has come up really well Fred.
Very nice indeed. Love the blue black burst.
@Andy40: I brought the wires from the top of the switch (top when soldering), I heat shielded the pups ones (not the other ones as I forgot to add the heatshield before I soldered them... and I was happy with how they looked), and I bent the metal connectors downward. I made sure that if anything touches the shielding it would be the heat shield first. Seems to be okay, I've got all 3x pickups working and the grounding seems good.
@Gavin1393: I'll lodge the photos on GOTM this month, but I want to clean them up a bit, got to present the beast as well as possible! :-)
Forgot to add: Thanks for the nice comments guys!
It's been invaluable having access to this forum!
Seems that degree came in handy after all those years....lol...nice workQuote:

That burst looks awesome, and the gold hardware really sets it off. Nice work with the photography too, the soft colours really show off the guitar. Any chance of a sound clip?
Thanks.
I'll try to record something clean and post it somehow.
