Starting on the mods needed to the body before doing any sanding.
Checking the fit of the Tone Monster SBK-3 preamp.
I managed to get all the pots flush except the mid with the large PCB on it by some elaborate winding of the leads.
Neither PCB is near the edges so I'm pretty happy I can copper shield the cavity.
The areas marked in pencil will need to be carved out to allow the mid pot to sit flush.
Checking that the pup leads reached to the small PCB on the balance pot I noticed the bridge pickup sticking out much too high. I hadn't noticed when I did the original parts layout.
Turns out the hole from the pup route to control cavity is misaligned.
The normally the pup would have to lift a little to let the lead out from underneath. This lifts it another 3mm.
I filed down the hole to let the lead run flush to the floor of the pup route.
Pencil markings are considering creating a channel for the leads giving even more flexibility in the pup height.
