    Photo's are a tad out of focus so hard to see if you are on the right track especially with the wiring shot....probably need to slow down just a bit to focus the camera!

    quick playing report

    (note: i am a crap builder, but long time player)

    guitar plays in tune, and with a bit of truss rod this, and bridge that, plays really nicely

    sounds fine, all pickups and knobs do what they should .......... (a miracle!)

    overall I am astonished how well it plays and how good it sounds

    ... even my 15 yr old son is impressed....
    Why do it carefully if you can do it quick?
