Finally got the neck pocket sanded out to allow a mock build. It will probably need further adjustment when the neck heel has been finished, but for now a good tight fit. Neck alignment is not perfect, but acceptable. Shaded ever so slightly to the treble side. After careful study of the exchange between Simon and McCreed in Ronafett's thread, I think the scale length is good enough for who it's for. My photos are jfif files, and not an acceptable format. If I can get something else, I'll post it.

Questions I will need to have answered. Mounting the pickups. The routed-out body cavity includes both pickup areas. No wood under either pickup. Is the single coil just attached to the scratch plate? (?) The humbucker back plate has holes at the four corners, but no holes are in the scratch plate (and no wood beneath where the screws would go thru). The two screws midway on the sides of the humbucker back plate line up with 2 holes in the scratch plate. Do I remove them and re-assemble the PU, attached to the scratch plate? Or do I need to glue some wood pieces into the body cavity to attach pickups to? Hope that makes sense. I don't need answers right now, but down the road for certain. Thanks in advance.
