I'm waiting for pickups to arrive. Not sure about the tuning machines...I think I may go with the ones provided in the kit, see how they perform. I've ordered a push-pull dial as I intend on splitting both humbuckers.
I've just had the machine shop at work mill a heavy piece of flat bar stock for fret-levelling, which is my next job, to sort the frets.
While I wait for the pickups I'll shield the cavities, and install some hardware.

Moonflower pickups are in. Considerable work with Dremel tool and sanding drum. Copper shielded cavities.
