(yes, that's all black dog hair in the background - time to vacuum I guess)
Intonation is pretty decent after adjusting the saddles but the low E is still a bit sharp on 12th fret.
Now it's time to strip it all down and do the pickguard holes and put the final coats of TO on then polish it up.
Just in time too - new puppy coming on Friday so I may not have much free time for a while.

Don't worry, I've been there and done that too, i.e. wired up the socket backwards, it's an easy enough mistake to make, at least you know that everything works as it should now.
