    On the plus side, it looks like you have the template ready for the next build!
    Yes, I tried to plan well! At least I tested the loaded guard before doing the final coats.
    In Australia we have a shorter expression - "s@#t happens".

    Just one more thing I didn't know came from Australia. If I translate that to Spanish it sounds messy ;-)

    I have managed to pick up (!?) a set of Benson Custom Gypsy St neck and bridge pickups from PBG with black covers. They sound good with a tap test!

    Nice score! Those should be great pickups. The will certainly look good with those beveled magnets ;-)
