Lookin' purtier already.
Forgot to add a ground wire (flippin' idiot) but I managed to remove the bush, insert the wire, and replace the bush with minimal hassles. All told, it was a success.

Then, the problem. Being a tune-o-matic means the neck would need relief, something it doesn't have. So, it was shim time. The neck also has some serious bow in the wrong direction, but I'm sure some of that will be rectified by full string tension and a truss adjustment.
