Thanks Fretworn, almost there, coulda been there last night but well when do things ever go perfectly to plan.
So all the hardware is on now, and I'm really pleased with how it looks
I did mention offhand that I'd stained the back of the neck purple in one of my previous posts, but this is the first picture I've popped up. Since I used pink on it first it ended up a lighter purple than the body, which I am totally happy with, it still looks nice to me.
Now, no strings on it at the moment because while I was grappling with understanding this (to me) completely alien bridge and nut system, I was trying to lock down the low strings and I'm not totally sure if I crossthreaded the screw or if it was just the metal isn't very solid, but I stripped the thread of the nut. I've ordered a replacement for it and I'll be a bit more careful with it. Hoping I don't have to resort to completely redoing things to fit a new type of nut on, but we'll see what happens.
