The past weeks I did not have time to work on the Red Widow and only last week I could continue. So, what have I done: I took care of the fretboard. I noticed that there were some frets that needed to be levelled out. After I did this I polished the frets.
Then I used the copper shieldingtape to cover all the cavities. Bit of a hassle because that tape will stick to anything But I managed it and it looked like this:
Next on the list was installing the PU's and firing up my laptop to go to the website of PBG and used the videotutorial for the soldering of the PU's, pots, threeway switch and jack.

After this I installed the pots into the cavity and hooked the guitar on to my little test amp to see if everything was connected properly. And it worked perfectly! No hum or noise and the tap test on the PU's were succesful.
So next thing is the nut that I have to work on...
