no worries. I'd tape off the surrounds of the neck pocket when you set the neck so no glue touches the lovely glossy finish

So it all went in alot easier than through the f holes ill test out tomorrowand see if i broke any solders. Not sure about the pick guard think i like it better without
Wow! Dress it up and it looks even better! Well done! Fingers crossed on the solder joints... you could plug it in to an amp, and lightly tap the pickups with a screwdriver to check it works.

Your guitar so your choice.... but I would say it looks better without the pickguard.... lovely finish, seems a shame to hide some of it

Nope it didn't work pluged in this arvo and buzzing looked in the fholes and ive had the earth wire from the jack to the pot come off bugger
From the sounds of it, you may need to check all your joints. The solder should be bonded onto the lug and the wire. Here’s one I prepared earlier...
Not the neatest, but you can see the solder has completely flowed into the holes and soaked through the wire. Hope that helps?
