    Hope you have your therapy sessions booked....
    You will need them after wireing this baby up

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    Thanks all, I can almost see the finish line. Electronics upgrades ordered today, need to sort out fretboard still...those are the biggies outstanding.

    Looking for a supplier of custom waterslide decals, any ideas?

    Cheers,

    I know it's unnatural to fall in love with a guitar headstock.

    Wiring begins with a scale template of the switch positions, wiring routes drawn and actual hardware installed in heavy card.

    Actual wiring will be routed clear of the soundhole to try to hide it all.

    Your patience and finesse is clearly better than mine. It looks great. I'm envious of the finish - I can't for the life of me get a high gloss finish.

    wow Moose that looks stunning well done mate. It is clear now in the photo why a square hinge won't work on the trapeze hinge with the non symettrical rear end of this axe. Nice workaround that looks very neat. The gold hardware really goes well with the body colour too !
    What size Mustang amp is it, a combo ?
    Are you a kiwi Moose?

    As already mentioned, this has GOTM written all over it, it oozes WOW!!! factor. Well done.
    I had to show the guitar here as some might miss it otherwise and that would be a shame!
