Everything is right about that.  Great job & congratulations!

Very good.

Do you plan to get a black cover for the middle pickup or no ?

Thanks! I think I'll leave it as cream but I'm still not sure. I'm probably going to flip the humbuckers so the cream coil is on the outsides though.

Very classy. Looks like a million bucks!
I kinda like the cream single coil. I think it makes the colors of the pickups follow the color scheme on the body: black to clear/(cream).

 

[stratamania]

Either way it looks very good.

Enter it in GOM.

Thanks guys .

Here's super quick sound test using 2 stock Guitar Rig 5 presets https://soundcloud.com/amisson/test/s-gPwUR. I do about 1/3 bridge, 1/3 neck, 1/3 middle pickup.

Oh and I've decided to not be a special little snowflake and go with 2 chrome knobs instead of 1 chrome/1 black :doh:

That sounds great. I like all sounds, but am especially fond of the middle pickup. Nice.

Yeah that middle coil sounds surprisingly huge, I'm having a lot of fun with it!

I've begun to like Floyd without locking nut myself, good idea

(I was completely against it before I tried... Still prefer locking nut for pure stability sake, but locking tuners works well and I like being able to tune at both ends of the strings without having to fiddle with the lockingpads)
