Thanks for the kind words guys. Yes Dennis, the side jacks is going to be for future projects. Arron, I got some pickups in transit from Hallmark so when I get them all I have to do is put them in place get a perfect fit of the pick guard around the neck pickup, do a complete set up and rock out!!

Well I thought I posted a response to how the pickups sound but I guess I didn't. I gotta say those single coil pickups blow my strats all equipped with humbuckers out of the water. I'm totally satisfied with the outcome and can't wait to start on the next one. The next one will just have a bridge pickup volume and tone and possibly a side jack. The bridge pickup was a little weak though so I might add a 1meg ohm pot as the volume. But other than that I love it.

Kevin, I've been quietly following your project, and must tell you how nice it turned out: A hardtail Mark 1!
I admire craftsmanship like this (and the other guys around here too) and wish I had the place, tools, and skills to do it myself. Meanwhile, I'll admire the handiwork of people like yourself, Danny, Dennis, Mel, and Terry. Look forward to seeing your next endeavor.
