Clear coats have been put on, rested for a week. I have also given the back a polish with Maquire's Ultimate compound and then Scratch 2x and let that rest for a few days.
Soldered together the volume and tone pots and the jack socket and added to the guitar. Added the bridge, neck, strap buttons.
I'm using a string bar (purchased online) rather than string trees since the strings splay out after the nut.
Today I have added strings and rough tuned.
