    Hi All,

    So, neck glued, tuners on (just screws needed to finalise)' pickups on and wires threaded, bridge pins in and grounded.

    Starting to swot up on the wiring diagrams, soldering and wiring. Mentally preparing myself for the f-hole instalation checking out various YouTube vids. Any advice welcome.

    Still pretty happy so far and no howlers... spoke to my guitar teacher about levelling the frets and will prob borrow some of the specialist tools from him to help...

    Thanks,
