Looking really amazing! I love that top and the cream pickup rings really suit it. Great job!
cheers,

Thank you all for the positive comments. I thought I was done with this axe, but a few more tweaks were required..
Decided on no pick-guard.
Cavity covers on the back.. re-sprayed with black enamel paint (x3 coats with wire-wool in-between each).
The intonation was a bit of a nightmare to get right, re-visited the nut and lowered each string to within a paper-sliver of the first fret. Ta-da, fixed my intonation problems.
Final tweak was in regards to frets from #15 onwards, I sloped these slightly towards the bridge and have removed all signs of buzz / deadness when up that end.
I'll enter into the December GOTM where you will find piccies of the final product.
Now to wait for my LP-Jnr kit.......

Lovely, great to hear. Such a fine looking instrument. Well done.
'As long as there's, you know, sex and drugs, I can do without the rock and roll.'
Nicely done Andrew. Personally - no pickguard - keep the flame!
I agree wholeheartedly Andrew. Don't want anything hiding that gorgeous top! Great decision.
cheers,
Gav.
