Looks great, nice piece of wood too. My OCD wants to flip one of the outer springs so the trem claw is symmetrical, though.

@Ihasmario, I used the 3 middle claws for the springs to give the springs a slightly longer distance from the bridge to give more tension

Great looking project Woks, that Golden Teak is really nice too with that grain - great choice.
I like those neatly recessed neck screw holes too, slicker than a neck plate.
cheers Matt, yes I saw a yellow stain on one of DB's blackwood tele's and it really brings up the dark grain nicely. I'm thinking about putting a red burst on like the pic below, thoughts anyone ?
