I'm no pro, but the action is looking pretty good. Didn't have to mess with the neck position much at all. Had a fair bit of trouble with the bridge though 'cause one of the pre-drilled holes was about 2mm off. Still, managed to get everything in place with some... gentle persuasion (mallet) :P
Looking awesome Bec! Coming down the home straight..
cheers,
Gav.

Yep, this is looking ace. Tidy work.

Nice copper shielding job Bec. Beware you may have to scrape some of the shielding off where pot lugs may make contact. I've had to do this to a few builds where the pots are recessed, especially the top two neck pots are recessed deeper.
I presume the yellow wire is an earth wire from the bridge posts ?
