Another amazing job Andy. This one is superb - the burst is awesome, the headstock is perfect and this baby looks ready to rock hard! Well done.

cheers,
Gav.

Andy as my next project will be a Jr can I ask did you do anything to the P90 dogears to conform with the shape of the arch top? Or is there enough give in the plastic to just screw it down tight?

Thanks mate.

@ Rob:
Hi Rob...I did have issues getting the P90 dogears to conform to the body.
There is definitely not enough give in the plastic as there needs to be.
My first effort to screw it down popped the cover off the pickup, and once that had happened, each attempt after had the same outcome. So I went online looking for a solution. Fixed the problem by cutting a small wooden block to use as a spacer to fit hard up under the pickup in the cavity rout. Then slowly screwed the P90 down, alternating a few turns on each screw until tight. Still don't know if this is the proper solution to the problem, but it did work for me. They do need really need to address the problem. The plastic is way to rigid with very little give.
Maybe someone else has another solution that I could also try.
Cheers
Andy

Thanks for that Andy. I had tried "google is your friend" but hadn't come up with your solution. I will give it a try when I get to that stage of the build.

Gotta love these Forums.

Thanks again mate
