I got a bit of work done over the weekend.

Enlarged the bridge cavity slightly so now the tonerider pup fits, I will do another mock-up to double check scale length with the bridge sitting in position but rough measurement looks good.



I also drilled out the holes in the switchplate to 9.5mm to accept the bourns pots. Because they are longer than the original pots I put a circlip on the back to get the correct protrusion until I can get nut another for the back.





Test fit of the bridge and switchplate with the upgraded components.


Now to the headstock. Rough cutout with the jigsaw. And then knocked out the old nut.



First swear words of the build. When I gently knocked out the nut took a chip from the edge of the slot.


Luckily I was working on an old t-shirt on the bench in my shed and I found the little chip. So a bit of superglue to the rescue.


And then finally sanded the shape into the headstock. Will need a little more sanding but pretty close.
