This has been a fun little project and my daughter is really stoked with it so far.
I was going to let it hang for a while but after a week the finish has hardened up pretty well so I put the pickups back in and did the small amount of wiring needed and fitted the scratch plate and output jack.
The neck isn't finished just yet because my daughter can't decide if she wants the headstock painted or stained. I.think I might have to make that decision for her.
