    Started on the pup route. Marked location, drilled out as much as possible then followed on by chisel. I’ll next clean up with dremel

    The neck should be finished by late this week

    And cleaned up. The Strat pup fits perfectly in it. The existing neck route needs to be widened a tad. Now to figure out best way to deal with the middle pup wires...

    Yes almost a shame to paint it... I drilled the middle pup wiring hole, basically straight down the centre line from the neck pocket, through the middle cavity to the bridge cavity. Bridge to control cavity has a nice wide hole and can fit 2x sets of vintage cloth pup wires
