Have to agree with that.

First clear coat went onto the body this morning. It's time to start getting the wiring done...

I'll begin by wiring up the pots and the switch... then when I am at my father-in-law's place tomorrow I will check the pickups with a multimeter and see if there is a "neck and bridge", or just two identical pickups.

I suspect the pickups will be the second thing to get swapped out if it turns out nice.

First will be the vibrato, though that will mean expanding the route... I'll probably need to find a friend more capable of doing it, heh.

Miss out on letting myself loose with one of these suckers?

O.K. Even in the 'D.I.Y.' world there comes a time for 'just leave it to somebody else'.

cheers, Mark.

Annoying re the knobs, but also kinda par for the course - at least its an easy swap and doesn't stop you from continuing with the build. As far as I am aware you don't get neck and bridge versions of P90's (I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong) They are essentially a single coil style but wider and flatter. I'll be interested to see if you get any difference in the resistance values of the kit ones.

If you look at the bridge post holes as eyes the guitar seems shocked by this turn of events.
