After I plugged it in to test I was happy to proclaim, " it's alive!"

[Jeff Sheridan]

At first I had to do a quick wire up to test that all parts were working, this was a pickup test: pup, volume, tone, jack; then I repeated with the other pickup

[Jeff Sheridan]

Electronics checking out, I ran wires thru the body and out the pickup hole. Attached the corresponding wires to jack and pots and fed the whole thing back thru the pickup hole to their new homes. I was able to use my youngest son to stick his whole hand in thru the neck pickup hole and line up the master volume and the pickup selector, making it a family affair.

Electronics installed on to the hardware

And here it is. Not entirely finished but fully playable.

So here I am holding my first ever built guitar, I am really happy with how it has all turned out so far. Now that she's been "born" it's time to get back into finishing off some of the small but personal details. Also it's developed a little fret buzz on the low E that I will have to address. Glad to get some pictures to everyone so you all can enjoy the build with me.
