I get very nervous when its something I've never done before which has excellent potential for cockup and is difficult to resolve if you do stuff things up!

Yes this is one of those places where the old carpenter's rule "measure twice cut once" is really appropriate.

Whilst waiting for the opportunity to go and do some pickup routing have been adding more coats of tru-oil and sealer filler where that seems indicated. My headstock decor seems to be acceptable. A recessed combination of abalone, veneer and transfer covered by more layers of sealer filler than you'd believe to bring it up level.
Tip if doing that sort of thing, if you put the sealer filler on too thick it will wrinkle while drying. Don't worry about it. Let it cure thoroughly, and add more. The wrinkles don't seem to show once you've got it high enough to sand flat.
That is very cool. Love the tree-of-life-J-C logo.

I believe there’s a Kübler-Ross model for pickup routing:
1. Anxiety (Measure, measure, measure, practice, practice, I can do this...)
2. Anger (Something’s gone wrong...)
3. Bargaining (I can still fix it...)
4. Depression (The kit’s ruined...)
5. Acceptance (Pickguard...)
Good luck!
Scott.
Do folk want to see photos of my pickup routing setup?
