It took a bit, (I don't recommend your parts arrive the day after your son is born) but it's done! Couldn't be more happy with the outcome. Thanks y'all for the guidance!!

Nah, that looks good I think it's the first issue you raised. Also appears I have pocket posted 🤦

Kkkkkkkkkk mm n mmkhmkmkm mm n

Ahhh you know what, that may be the issue...first time using pickups with the braided wire, and wasn't really cautious about that!

Got everything mounted, but hit another issue after wiring. If I tap the pole piece with a screwdriver, the only sound I get from the neck pick up, and it's similar to the sound you get when tapping an input cable. I followed the two pickup + two pot + toggle schematic from stewmac.. did I make...

Crisis averted with the screw. The obvious pliers did the trick. Thanks for the suggestion

Yeah! It's a slick bridge and a drop in fit for the american std route. Will report back once I get the build / set up complete, but yeah it's a nice bridge

Coming along. Hit a small snag mounting a P90, and stripped a screw. Unfortunately I found the screw driver I needed 1.3 seconds after this occured. Any tips for getting this guy out?

You're the man, Aaron. The parts for my first build were just delivered. This is timely and super helpful

Beautiful guitar by the way. is that a warmoth finish?

Ahh I think the issue is the nut and washer the switch came with. I swapped that, and it fits fine 🤷

I think the issue issue is the shafts literally aren't long enough. I bought a wiring kit from Stewmac, but didn't notice that..Oh well.. I just contacted Warmoth, and they confirmed the issue. Looks like I'm waiting another couple of days for the new parts to arrive

Doh! Looks like I need long shaft pots, and a taller toggle for the rear route. First build problems I guess...

Right?! It almost has this pseudo-birdseye look to it

Some Initial pics! Its going to be a fun weekend :) Scored a really nice cut of quartersawn. These were those "flakes" folks were talking about
