Got the body in and its absolutely beautiful! Anyone out there do a meadowhawk build? I am wondering if you used low profile humbucker rings?

That look great! I use flat humbucker rings on all my bolt on builds.

Yep, the thin metal ones that Warmoth sells.

Dumb question, the long shaft pots I have are too long. I'm assuming I can just use a washer, lock washer and nut on the inside of the cavity to space the shaft properly?

Yes, I've had to experiment with washers on the long shafts until they sit at the height I want. I bought enough that I should never run out in at least three lifetimes. I'm not sure where you are located, but in the US McMaster-Carr is a great place to buy general hardware. They have an awesome selection.

Beautiful finish ! That's going to be a great build.

I use the flat metal rings on mine and do black, gold, silver to match the build....

I also find that using the star washers inside after the nut and washer to adjust the height helps to keep the pots from turning when tightening down. Lot's of assortments on Amazon:

So the star washer "after the nut and washer" would be against the body inside the cavity?

Yes, lock washer last against the body on the inside. I agree it helps keep the pot from twisting while tightening the nut on the outside.
