So many of you here know that yesterday was my birthday, and most of you have seen the awesome gift that DB, Wokka, Adam, Popeye and my dad came together to give to me in the morning. Well I think it is now time to start building this beast!

So here's some specs for all of you:
- American Swamp Ash body
- Tassy Blackwood neck and fretboard
- Tonerider pickups (tele bridge, modified P90 middle, Strat neck)
- Custom cavity cover
- Nice bone nut (overhangs a little, nothing a little elbow grease can fix)
- Lots of wiring possibilities

So the plan for now is to stain or fill with black and sand to pop the grain, then go clear over that. I'll look at other possibilities, but I'd prefer to keep it semi-natural looking and I will bring the grain out as much as possible!

For wiring, I have a 5 position rotary switch, a 1meg CTS pot, 2 250K pots, a pair of capacitors, 2 treble bleeds and a 500K blend pot... Any ideas for wiring? I might see how the 1meg sounds with the bridge pup, might sound wicked, might sound shite...

So far, the only problems I have found the tuner holes are a smidge too narrow, nothing a little sanding and drilling can't fix! The cavity is a little too shallow for the switch as well... But still, nothing I can't fix!

Anyway, time for a mock build and some close ups! Loving the third fret "marker"

Can't upload pics right now, sorry guys, will be up later when I get home!
