Hey Friends,
Here's the latest: I let the body hang for a week so the stain/finish could set.
Here's the beginning:
...and here's 2 hours later:
So far, so good; everything fit pretty well, even if positioning the whammy was a bit of a Hail Mary. What you see is everything from the kit - no upgrades. The neck needs to bow a bit more - I tweaked it and will let it sit with tension for a while and see what happens. Miraculously (and I hope this is some kind of sign) the intonation is fairly spot on. I need to do the usual set-up tweaks to get it right (and possibly a smaller spring for the whammy), but my quick test tells me that it has a nice sort of hybrid sound - fairly bright, but with some warmth from the humbuckers.
I'll keep you posted and get better pics...
