Thanks guys for your encouragement, hope it looks as good as the after photos when its all done.
Today did lots of work on the neck pocket and heal, the routing in the pocket was pretty rough with lots of tearout and the neck sat in the pocket on an angle (sideways). After lots of filing and sanding on both all looks good. Checked the break angle and thats fine too.
After sanding to 400 I decided to whack some stain on the back to check the colour and what the grain was going to do. Turned out too pinkish for what I wanted so have now grainfilled and then will sand back and I may add a little red mahogany to the cherry red to get the depth of colour that Im after.
Gotta love rainy days when its too wet to do normal work!
And yes Wokka I'm practicing my AHa Aha... thankyou very much.
PS Has anyone tried GFS pickups they make a pretty cool looking goldfoil that fits a humbucker rout
