Nice grubsta

Thanks guys. I'm not sure how the pearl red pick guard will look on it so ill have to just have sit tight on that for a bit longer but i might end up going for something else. I've decided to ditch the stock pickups but not sure what ill replace them with just yet i would like to try out some Benson's but the budget is telling me to get stuffed at the moment.

Agreed, this is going to be a nice guitar. Great work on that finish so far.

Are you going all stock electronics etc?

If you plan on changing the scratch plate in any way I would highly recommend extending the swimming pool route by about 10-15mm towards the bridge so you can relocate the hum bucker (or what ever you are using) a bit closer. I think it was Fretworn who commented on that with my build. I had thought they looked a bit bunched and he confirmed it. Its something I plan to change on the shoe gazer sometime this year.

It works totally fine as supplied, don't get me wrong, but I reckon you'd get a better twang if that pickup was moved a bit further south.
