After Months of Nothing, well working too many days for money to buy food with, I've sort of found some time to progress this a little bit further.
I've reached the point of gluing in the neck after many many many many coats of that Stupid Minwax. never never never use it.
I am at the point of do I solder in the pickups now an risk getting glue all over them, or do I leave them out and never actually get the pickup Vol pots in their holes once the pups are soldered and the neck glued, as once the neck is in you can't maneuver large sized pots inside the damn body with fat chuncky little hands.

Wanted Urgently Beautiful woman for five minutes work. must be petite, with long slender hands and wrists.
(May as well be good looking to improve the aesthetics)
I tried the missus but that didn't work and she could only do half the job, need someone to get the shaft fully in the hole.... for the pots on my Build.....What were you guys thinking.

OK Problem solved. Used a 600mm (2ft) length of linen thread and threaded the pots like threading a needle. pulled the shafts through and bolted them down. What a PITA it is trying to wire these things up..

Damn, minor error. I soldered the Neck pick up to the Bridge Tripple shot. If I get time I'll fix it tomorrow.
