Well done Nitro, and BTW, great looking shielding job too!!

Thanks guys @2FredA @Zandit.

Ok back to the neck thing, Adam was awesome and got back to me asap and said that mine was unique having holes drilled for a smaller neckplate. He is even willing to pay costs if i obtain one elsewhere as he doesnt stock them.
QUESTION to all you gurus out there....... why dont i use the bigger plate and just redrill the holes to suit??

Would that work?, im willing to think so...it fits like a glove



Ive just been looking through all the SG guitar pics on this site and ive found one that has a large plate...
It belongs to vh2580

As long as your new screw holes don't run into your old screw holes you should be okay. The plate will cover the old ones, or if you want to go that way you can always plug the existing with skewers and super glue and dress them off to be tidy.
Although you probably don't want to be drilling any more than necessary in your near finished body!

Cheers Wokks, yea the 3 way selector switch goes there.

If you haven't already done so, just try all your cavity connecting holes for size before you go too much further. Especially your bridge pup hole to the control cavity has to pass two six-core + ground pickup leads plus three or four (four for a switch ground wire if you aren't using shielded connection wires) wires too/from the selector switch, plus maybe one or two ground wire for the cavity foil grounding connections. Make sure both pup cavities have enough room to run the cables through them without getting in the way of the pickups and causing them to tilt or sit up high.

If you need to get a drill or a Dremel out to create some extra or wider channels, I'd do it now.

Hopefully you won't need to - but better safe than sorry.
