Thanks for the encouragement guys, every bit helps. I did the wiring while waiting for poly to dry for the next coat.

Then I put another coat of poly. Damn spray gun fell off the bench with one coat of poly left to apply and split the nozzle in half. Went to buy a new nozzle but that brand of spray gun is out date, so I had to buy a whole new spray gun. Unfortunately a bit more complicated than the last and it's spitting all over the place. This new spray gun is so bloody temperamental.
Put the final coat of poly on, not 100% happy with it, what do you think?

While waiting for the poly to dry I installed the machine heads.

Most ES-175 have a rosewood bridge under the tune-o-matic bridge so I'll be looking into this possibility next.
