Hit the routed areas with copper tape.
And found a nice pickguard to add some decent pots, switch and some Wilkinson pickups.
The pots are both log, with a .033 capacitor on the tone pots as I find the .047 a bit muffled.
Another small mod - I put a link on the switch so the back tone pot operates on the centre as well as the bridge pickup. I quite like having the tone control on that pickup.

Only problem was the neck sat too high in the pocket so I gradually sanded it down to have a nice action on the guitar.
Here it is all done up. I tried to get a black back cover but alas it did not cover the routed cavity at the back. Always a little more difficult getting bits for a lefty. And no one will see the back apart from me.
Plays nicely and the Wilkinsons have a fuller sound than the standard kit pickups.
You could order a custom back plate if you want. All star plastics in Melbourne will cut it to the size and shape you provide in a pdf or dxf file (dxf lot more accurate). Can help you out with getting the file if you want
Also like the dark scratchplate against the light stain, good finish
Nice looking guitar! Could use a headstock decal to finish it off. Great job!
Nice lefty work Colin. looks good
