I decided to finish the pickguard off and pop an extra hole for a pot in. I didn't like that all of the knobs were all the way back where they were, and there was room in the routing to pop an extra hole closer to the neck. When I do the replacement pickguard later, I'll only be using 1 volume and 1 tone, but for now I'll just be filling in two of the pot holes with unwired pots for the sake of neatness.
Here's how it comes together with the pots added in, and everything fitting together a little nicer than before. Seriously loving the look of the Gold Foils in here
Also, since it's come up, and I didn't have any good pictures, here's approximately how much of the stop-tail stud holes will be showing when the X-Trem gets locked in. (Treble and Bass side respectively)
