    I think I will work on the larger gecko, I'll grab the graphic and start cleaning it up.
    Then I'll shrink it a bit to fit better.
    The neck logo looks ok, but I might add "made by the lizard people" in Fender script to it....

    My bridge should arrive this week, and the pickups should get to the retailer , any day now ....
    My colleagues at work say that they will have decal paper soon.
    Just a little bit frustrated.

    The Mike B pickups have arrived, they are thing of beauty !
    I have had to re- route the bridge pickup cavity to get the bridge in the right spot.
    Note to self, next time do a mock up before doing the finish and watch Adam's videos.

    Yep I've just got to get the Barden bridge out of customs and I've got some cloth covered wire coming to match the pickup wiring.
    The five way switch is in the control plate, almost blast off time.
    I'm going to watch a few more of DB's and Adams videos before I make another blue :-)

    I've got a couple of schematics off the inter web, but I've decided to be a bit off the wall about it.
    I'm going front , back, serial, parallel, Arlo cocked wha.
    The cocked why adds an lcr filter to the circuit that is like having you Wah Wah pedal half way open ;-)

    sounds awesome the plans for the wiring Bruce.
    Sure the resident wiring guru Weirdy can cook up a nice schematic for you, or he probably has already done a 5 way tele diagram
