I'm calling this one done. Neck is currently settling and have not intonated it yet - which I will ballpark tonight after 2 young humans are fast asleep.
Went with an Artist Bullbucker in the neck and a Tonerider Birmingham in the bridge. Both independently coil splitable with push pull knobs. 50s wiring config. A very solid combo indeed. Will also need some slight height adjustment to balance once I get the final intonation dialled in.
Pretty happy with the finish considering what is was when I rescued it. Grain fill over paint worked well and I really prefer the satin textured finish with the grain lines showing rather than fully smooth high gloss immaculate jobs.
