I'm waiting for pickups to arrive. Not sure about the tuning machines...I think I may go with the ones provided in the kit, see how they perform. I've ordered a push-pull dial as I intend on splitting both humbuckers.
I've just had the machine shop at work mill a heavy piece of flat bar stock for fret-levelling, which is my next job, to sort the frets.
While I wait for the pickups I'll shield the cavities, and install some hardware.

Update-it's coming together.
Everything is just sitting in place, need to ground bridge (thank you Gavin), sort out crowded neck p-up and trapeze bridge alignment.
Thinking about a black pearloid pick guard.

Moonflower pickups are in. Considerable work with Dremel tool and sanding drum. Copper shielded cavities.
