A few more steps on the way today.
Pick ups and bridge fitted - I even remembered the earth wire:-)
Control plate just laid in place for the pics. Have to psych myself up for the last few bits of soldering.
I had the black pearl in mind for the plastics as soon as I chose the stain colour but I have been having my doubts as the build has gone on.
Seeing it coming together now I think it might not be to everyone's taste but I think it looks good.
