Thanks @Fretty & @Wokka!
My DiMarzio FS-1 arrived this afternoon and went straight into the bridge slot. With just a tap test she sounds overwound to the max! Can't wait to hear it.
With the pickups in place, I was able to get the shielding finished around the edge of the cavity, and screw the pickguard on lined up under the E strings. She's finally looking whole! I'm very excited now.
Just a fret level and lowering the nut to go now. I'm tempted to sneak in a quick play as is, but I think I'll try to resist until everything is finished.
cheers,
Gav.

Good sign that the bridge pup sounds overwound. With any luck we'll see a video of you belting out Ramone chords by the weekend !
Nice pile of boxes in the background and thats minus the six on the way ?

Must have been the day for pickups, mine got dropped off today too, unfortunately I'm a bit further away from pluggin' in than you gav, dieing to hear this in action.
@ Wokka, @Bargey thanks guys - I'm stoked with how she's looking. Yeah Wokka - I still have 5 builds on the go right now, and another 6 boxes arriving this week from the sale. If only I could actually play!!! LOL.
cheers,
Gav.
