you are definitely on the home stretch Nitro. Have you tested the wiring ? Next build you will have all the experience of this build under your belt so sure your next build will be even better !

Tested the wiring tonight,
the volume works a treat, and the push pull coil split works, not sure on the master series/parallel and phase push pulls but there is power to the pups when pulled. Only problem ive got is i put the 3 way switch in back to front so when up is selected its the bridge, middle is still both, and down is the neck. Thats gonna annoy me so ill reverse it tomorrow, its only 6 connections. Otherwise i think its ok.
Ive picked out my next project, its a SG-1 or 2. With SG-1 i dont think ill be able to do a set neck, but with SG-2, with bolt on neck theres a 6 week wait for backorder as they dont keep it in stock!! I dont want to wait that long. Dilemmas.

Hey Wokka, whos that great guy that custom cuts the pickguards for everyone? Do you know what price he charges?

where did you get the wax you did on the rosewood on the neck it looks killer

Made by Gamble and Sons, called Woodwax with eucalyptus oil, natural lemon scent, made from pure Aussie beeswax, bought at the big green shed. I think about $17 au for 250 ml, heaps enough.

Next installment... Body has been buffed, but needs more drying time before everything is fitted. Off to my bro in laws place this weekend for a few days hol. Will learn what i can from his skills while im there, setting up intonation etc. Will post more pics soon.

Hi Nitro have fun with your bro in law.
I missed a question about custom pickguards, PM Pablopepper, he usually asks for a trade so you buy him something online for his builds. His rates are very good for forumites.

don't be put off by set necks, they aren't as scary as I thought at first. It's just like a bolt on except you glue and clamp instead of drill and screw, the prep is the same with the bridge in place and the 2 e strings

LOL, there will be 4th fifth and sixth I bet, the only reason I haven't got more kits lined up is that all my major bills fall in June July

if you go over 4.6 on the GAS-o-liser they lock you in the Naughty Warehouse under the stairs with Wokka
