HI Bundy 64, Thanks for liking my "creation", maybe I could have put more base coat, but still good.
Keloooe & FretWorn Yeah I have had so much trouble trying to post pix, but tink i got the hang of it now.

Ok! One thing I have discovered is the "Bigsby" arm is on too much angle, I will give this a slight bend which should bring it in to a distance that will allow me to grab the thing. Will do that when I change the strings and do the final adjustment.

Today I put the last of the vintage yellow neck base in to the "f" hole, so thats finished.

AtLast! Finally got that stutter button to work, well First time I looked at it was today, checked the wiring but every thing was ok. The multi meter said it aint going but wont tell me why.
Ripped it out, took the hot feed from the 3 position switch in stead of the volume pot, and it worked, fantastic.
It's like I said, never seen a kill switch on a thine-line tele but it's there. It's a little bit of getting use to with the button between the vol and tone but I wont use it anyway.

cheers

Ok! Finally got it done, there was difficulty in "finding" the stutter button in it's original position, so I turned the control plate 180deg, now the button is very accessible. Also had to swap the tone and volume knobs so the volume is always there and the switch is also reversed so it points to the hot pick up.
Now i'm ready for my next project, but first I need to do a bit of work on another guitar, just rewire it but dont know when my next guitar will be.

Love the final result. This is one kit that I'm keen on making, and you've done a stellar job! Can't wait to see the next build.

Cheers,
Gavin.

Thanks Gavin, next time I'll take a little more time. The bigsby spring is too strong. I have two of them kicking around here somewhere so I'll either find one or maybe cut it down a little, sometime. The front pick up is interesting it is more power full that the humbucker. I am thinking of obtaining a stacked concentric pot (volume & tone in the one pot so I can cut the volume back on the front PU)) but unless I go to America I may have trouble finding them.
