A little more detail about the build to this point:

When I first test fit the neck there was some significant lateral movement. Hoarder that I am, I found some very thin cutoffs of poplar from my last scratch build. After trimming to fit the treble side of the neck tenon I glued them up and left clamped overnight. Then, little by little I was able to sand these shims back until I got a nice fit.

The most time consuming part was, of course, spraying the lacquer. Per the label recommendation, each coat was sprayed at least 30 minutes apart. I soaked the cans in hot water (120-130° F) before spraying and between coats to keep it from spattering in my cold garage. Before entering the garage to spray I donned an appropriate respirator because I like breathing. Vent fan in the window and the cat flap opened to provide a draft, the odor never entered the house. So it was respirator, go spray, return can to hot water, set timer, play GTA V until timer was up, repeat. That was Saturday in a nutshell.

That said, I've got appx 10 hours in this so far. From experience I estimate 3-5 more hours to wire it and dial in the setup. Probably Saturday...
