Update:

It's been a while, so I thought I'd bring you guys up to date with this one, I ended up having to chisel-out quite a bit of the wood from the body-routing for the bridge, then I realized that I went a bit too far and removed more of the wood than I should have, I ended up having to glue some new wood back in, anyway, my little mistake was fixed-up in the end, I might pop into the Big Green Shed in the morning, or maybe tomorrow, to see if they stock any 1 metre planks of wood that's 8mm thick, reason being is that I need to raise the bridge up by about 8mm to enable enough string-height adjustment, otherwise the bridge will be sitting too low in the bridge-route, once that issue has been sorted-out, I'm going to see what I can do about the routing for the pickups, since I'm going with a two-humbucker pickup-configuration, the routing for the middle single-coil pickup needs to be plugged-up with a suitably-shaped piece of wood, since I'm spray-painting the body in a solid colour (I've decided to use the can of greyish-looking Metallic Blue paint I had bought for the Hot Rod Strat, but ended up using a darker Metallic Blue on the Hot Rod Strat instead), it doesn't really matter if the wood grains don't match, or the wood-plug is of a different type of wood, it's going to be covered-up by the paint anyway, I'm going to be working on this project over the Christmas break, so at least I will be occupied.
