Nicely done! Great color; kind of a faded green, at least in the pictures.

I see you still have to repair the pickup ring screw.
Do you have a good method of repairing that?

Stewmac (I have spent a lot of money there) :cry: has a nice small screw rescue kit.
I would not buy the whole kit, just the small screw remover, and the plug cutter. The 3/16" bit can be bought anywhere.
It's a bit pricey, like a lot of things at stewmac, but it works well.
I guess I shouldn't knock them too hard. They must spend a lot of money developing these tools, that are aimed directly at the luthier, and are not available anywhere else.

Did a small electronics repair on it last night. The single coil out of phase option on the rotary for the neck pickup (now that's a mouth full!) was not soldered, the jumper wire was through the lug but I had forgotten to solder that one so in the clean tones video you can hear where it drops out when I switch to that option. Just a dab of solder and it works great :)

Now to fix that broken screw sometime....
