I had to respray the blue and lacquer around the complete perimeter, leave, cut back and polish. It’s not without a few flaws, somebody moved it while curing which left a few imperfections and while carrying out the last minute of polishing I caught the disc centre on it causing it to bounce right along the bottom edge. Needless to say a few naughty words filled the street. I managed to sand the worst out before re-polishing.

The bridge ground wire is in place, another awkward task and the cavity shielded.

I’m going with a pair of Warman “Dogs o’ War P90 pickups mounted under the scratch plate. I’ll cut the ears off the covers to give a couple of mm more height but I’ll also have to drill out a small section of the upper cavity for the pickup’s screw tabs.

Then I can order a white scratch plate.
