Nice work.
My only tip is to use low tack masking tape ( the blue stuff ) to do your marking out on, saves having to sand pencil marks off the wood and a simple cleanup with Goof Off.
Conversion bushes are in and all tuners line up :)

More bits arrived today, from Ace guitar parts:

Lining up OK,except for the string through holes. Strings do go through, though:

G'day Thunderbird. Looking good so far (and bringing on a sense of deja-vu).Quote:

It covers them fine, Mark, I just drilled them badly :p Luckily the bridge plate covers my sloppy work :)Quote:

cheers, Mark.
Thanks for that Mark :) I might get that for this build, and save the single ferrules for something else.Quote:

Lucky it's going to be a solid colour:
