It was very hard to know how thick the Spalted maple top was, so carefully recessing the controls was trial and error.

If you look carefully you can see that on two holes I went through the Spalted Maple top to the wood below, I seem to have a habit of doing that... Oh well (Hmmm Fleetwood Mac!)

The other thing worth noting is that this had by now a coat or two of guitar oil on the top, it started to really standout, so the small problem of the control recessing was now forgotten.
