Thanks euroa & Dedman. This was probably the easiest of the 4 builds I have done so far and really happy with the colour as that part of any build does not always end up how you pictured things in your mind before starting.
Thinking of doing a white one with all the ashtrays to match my Tele

Sounds good but too much gorgeous grain to hide if using Ash. Maybe a translucent white on Ash would look cool.
Finally figured out how to do a half decent video on an iPad and just spent past few hours working out how to invert it as the iPad was upside down! Also took about 1.5 hours uploading on to YouTube.
The reason for a sound demo was to provide a before and after example........here is the before with the stock Chinese pickups.....
Edit: Would love to know how you guys embed the video without using a hyperlink as I have had to do here?

The easiest way to embed the video is to copy the link like you have done, then just above the comment box you will see a tab that looks like a film strip. Hit this tab and you will get a pop up box appear where you can insert the link you copied.
Give it a try

Fine tuning & tweaking day yesterday.
Not much required on this build other than new strings, strap locks, and was also going to swap stock nut for a graphite one but once strings were off and having a closer look decided that plastic one could stay for a little while longer until I get a bone one as the graphite nut looked just like a black piece of plastic and probably sounds no better.
Edit: Decided to go a slightly heavier gauge on the strings, particularly the high G and found the intonation travel not long enough as that saddle had to come a long way forward with the saddle resting above the mounting screws and still a fraction flat of the 12th harmonic. All other strings required a bit of re-intonation but not as much as the G string. May need to swap back to using 0.45 instead or find a suitable replacement bridge which is what I am currently researching.

Looks and sounds great!
Though it could simply be a camera lens distortion issue, a quick measure up of the photo seems to show that the nut to 12th fret distance is a bit longer than the 12th fret to bridge distance (on the G string anyway), which is unexpected. Have you done any measurements on this at all? How does it compare if you use a tuner to set the intonation by tuning the open string and then fretting on the 12th fret? Same issue?
