Nice save on the bridge! The pickguard can cover a lot of sins :)

Looks like it's been a fun project and a good learning experience. And to have it play well, that's a nice bonus!

Just plugged it in for the first time - sounds fucking great. The pickup combination does exactly what I hoped it would.
Hopefully, I'll get some time to record a few tones over the weekend.

Found the original thread for this disaster. It no longer has the Chinese "Fender" custom shop neck. Its got a lovely nameless neck, made in the uk.

All set up, plays great and sounds great. Its also a slightly unusual sound, which is probably down to the unusual pickup configuration.

Combined with the new kitchen amp, its ended up being my most played guitar in the last week despite having the ES135 rewired.

Feel like I have an ideal set of 4 electric guitars now... finally.
