    This looks super! Great job.

    A couple questions:

    Did you apply colour to those pickup covers and knobs or did you get them in a cream? They look to be white in your earlier mock build posts.
    How did you put that R on the neck plate?

    I've got a strat kit sitting about that I need to start at some point and like your attention to detail. It's the little things that make a difference.

    Thanks! I sprayed the pup covers, knobs and pickguard. Can't remember the exact colour but finished with a few coats of clear. So far so good, paint is holding up really well. The bright white didn't really fit in with my colour scheme and I think it makes a huge difference.

    I took the neck plate in to my local engraving place. Got him to draw it up and it was done on a laser. Cost about $20 aud.

    Cheers

    If it wears off cream one's are fairly cheap off ebay.

    The one's I got were a tad 'orange' so took to them with sandpaper and rounded the edges.
