Well, the preamp faceplate is proving difficult and fiddle, so I’ve shoved that to the side for now.
I have prepped routing templates for the preamp and the battery box, but for obvious reasons, I’m going to have to psyche myself up for hacking yet more holes into this body.

So I thought I’d take care of another issue that had been bugging me, the fact that the neck pup couldn’t fit with the neck in it’s proper position.

So. Here’s how it started out
After marking out where the end of the fretboard needed to be in relation to the PuP cover, and marked this on masking tape at the end of the fretboard




It was some quick work with a fretsaw to cut down through to the neck and some clean up with a sharp chisel.



A bit of works with some CA and some masking tape, et voila! Binding cap back in place.

Then Igor got silly. OCD wouldn’t allow either of us to rest with the neck end sitting proud of the fretboard. So.....



Well, it ain’t called the FrankenLab for nothing eh?

There is a little acetone tidy up to do to blend the corners properly, but I’m reasonably pleased with how this has worked out.




Now that that is out of the way, the only thing left to fiddle before tackling the routing of additional cavities and electrickery set up is sorting out the bridge blank, as the kit one is, sadly, but not surprisingly, rubbish.
