Starting to look very cool indeed.
And I too like the vaguely "Baroque Stock".

Hey Jacob the guitar is coming out amazing. I really like your headstock design. Looking forward to seeing this guitar when it's all strung up and rocking.

I have finished the soldering of the guitar, it took a couple visits to my uncle's workshop and it worked out great. We tested the connection by tapping the pickups with a screw driver while it was plugged in, at first it didn't work because the output Jack was grounded out, as it was touching the Copper tape the we used to shield the guitar. We peeled out the tape inside the hole for the Jack, after that it worked as it was supposed to! Here are a few pictures of the wiring.
Thanks,
Jacob

well done Jacob, you look like a pro with the soldering iron and wiring diagram on the bench.
You must be close to screwing the neck in and stringing her up ?

nice one Jacob. So the black wire on the output jack is going to the hot tip is that correct ? You since must have put an earth wire on the other lug.
You do know there is a thin clear plastic protection sheet on the pickguard so make sure you remove that before you screw the pickguard in place.
Looking good, love the black and dark green look

Looking great Jacob! Will be great to see it complete.

Gav.

[Kooyfish26]

Yes we made sure to remove the plastic
Thanks,
Jacob

We are about to apply a lacquer finish to the front of the headstock, here's how it looks before and what we are using.

Well done Jacob, love black on green theme and the label blends well with headstock.
