Here's a shot of the top, trying to catch the light to show the finish.

The headstock came up okay, but I went through in two spots on either end of the contour. I'm considering hitting those two small light spots with some black enamel paint to cover them up.

The neck came up really good, I'm quite happy with it.

This is the diameter mismatch between the control plate and the current pickguard. The light in this particular room makes the guitar look more green than blue.

Same terrible lighting making the colour look weird, but you can see what I mean about it all being too "busy", nevermind the pickguard needing to be filed out to fit the neck and control plate. I'll sort it out with a new all black guard.
