Final update today: just finished the routing for the Freeway switch. Almost blew it in that I drilled the hole in the pickguard without establishing just how much room I needed for the rout. You can see the pencil lines on the body to show how close it was to messing up! I also did this rout with the dremel and the drill press... normally I break out the router for something like this so happy the new technique worked okay. You can also see the small wedge of wood I've glued on the far side of the control cavity - this is the one that the pickguard screw will attach to now I've cut away the normal bit of the pickguard where it would have attached (if that makes sense!).
