    Thanks Simon,

    I'm finally getting around to finishing mine. Is there a 'normal' order for the layout of the 4 pots (volumes at the top, tones closer to edge, volumes near the tail, tones near neck)?

    All cavities and back of pick guard have copper tape on them, with the exception of where I opened up the bridge cavity. Will try adding a couple pieces back on to cover those spots.

    What did you use to shim up the neck pocket? I might have to do the same thing with mine. It's okay but I wouldn't call it a snug fit.

    @Adam,
    Did you ever get any of the Tonerider TRT3 Blues pickups in? You said you might be able to get some on your next order in (i think you said) June. I wanted to try them in my tele.

    If you pick up CA glue from a hobby store (used lots in model building) it's usually sold by the viscosity (thin/med/thick). I think that's what you're asking about.

    I gave it a play today and for the most part it plays pretty well. Still might need to fine tune the nut - there's still just a hint of a sitar-y buzz on the B string. One thing I've noticed though...
