No more string breaking thus far, so on with the re-finish.
Removing the paint reveals that the body is 2 pieces of MDF sandwiched together.

Now that the pickguard blank has arrived, time to determine correct pick-up placement.

hehe. I think a few clear coats may tone it down a tad.
I think I'll leave it matt.
Did a little research into more suitable strings for tremolo.
This one popped up first so it gets a trial run.

I love the rotos [emoji16]
They seem to last longer and feel nice and bright for my playing style anyway.

Cheers, Bakers.
I've had it back up and strumming for a week with no remissions.
Noticed with the Roto strings that there's very little if any 'creaks' when you use the whammy.
Despite measuring, the pickup placement good have been slightly better.
I'll leave tweaking that until I really need a new scratch plate.

That brings all my guitar mods to a close.

Looks great. Seems like its always a game of averages with slanted single coils getting the strings to line up with the posts.
