Anyway, I'm waiting for it to show up, but in the meantime have done far more work on the neck than I ever expected, sorted the headstock, fitted the tuners and added a nice brass 'nut'. I've never used a brass nut before, so I'm curious to hear what it sounds like. I have a bone one here somewhere if it proves to be a disaster, but we will see, what we shall see...and all that.
What else? Oh I went for a traditional looking creamy scratchplate, for period accuracy (ahem).
So there we are, and not a lot left to do other than wire it up when the pickup arrives and then get it all playing nicely. I think I'll hit the end of month deadline anyway...The finish on the body, I forgot to mention, got a bit more scraping and a lot more polishing and looks absolutely amazing now. I'm really pleased with it. So I did the headstock too, which looks sufficiently battered to be cool.
La la laaa
