As promised on the Just out of the box section, some build updates :
The body after one coat of Ikea furniture finish (seriously), drying in my kitchen. The grain came up a bit, but it's been sanded and recoated since, and now it looks cool, a bit like a cross between a Fender Blonde and antique whitewashed furniture. I'm sanding it down lightly next, and will apply a coat of clear wax.
The pickguard, with all the stuff mounted and soldered. Got a little creative with the wiring, I just hope it'll work. :-\
The neck, with tuners installed, and lightly oiled with raw linseed oil.
Me, grinning in anticipation :
Won't have much time to do anything else for a while, so other updates might take a few weeks...

Think it'll be a looker!
