That's a great idea, and a nice tribute. Looking great! Samantha Fish is definitely inspiring.

The little voices in my head keep telling me "build more guitars"
Shielded pick up cavities. Needed to drill holes to accomodate mounting screws of neck pick up as the guitar configuration prevents routing cavity deeper.

Had mistakenly purchased a tele control panel upgrade with 500k pots. Purchased an alternate set of 250k pots which should be better for single coil pickups. BUT threaded shaft too big for control panel plate. Thank heaven for the Dremel

Soldering iron was not working. Purchased new one from big green shed. Waste of time and money. It got colder /generated less heat with time resukting in some rubbish solders. Then died after 40 minutes or so. Will need to get a new one tomorrow and de-solder / re-solder some of the wiring.
