Yesterday I finally had time to get the frets leveled, nut slotted and because I cant wait to play it I strung it up and played on it a little. I have the volume, tone and switch wired up already so as soon as I get the pickups from hallmark I can get my pick guard made and I should be done other that putting the fret markers in place.
I'm going to have a few small pieces of cream pickguard material left which would me perfect for a side jack mounting plate. Does anybody have a tracing of one so I can make em? Thanks for the kind words Dennis.
I'm digging the LUCITE pick ups and pickguard . Kev, all kidding aside, that's looking real sweet!

Yeah, Dan Armstrong is still pounding at my door begging me to sell them to him . Thanks Dennis, I just can't wait till it's done and over so I can move on to the next project.
Well yesterday I went ahead made the pick guard but made sure to leave a little extra material at the neck pickup that I could trim the excess around the pickup ring. Installed the wiring harness and now it's starting to look like a guitar. The pick guard material I ordered ended up being big enough for three pick guards.
Kev, that's nice looking, but what about the sidejack plate?? Or is that for still another project??
