Well I think it's time (delayed guitar build)

Here's a crappy lit phone pic of the layout. Picture the bridge as black.

Someone with experience with threaded neck inserts PM me, I have a Q.

Oh and PS, this is going to tend to be neck heavy. Cagey had noted this was the second heaviest neck he had ever worked on.
I had originally wanted Pao Ferro, but the W was out and no idea when they would have more. And they had a limited run of Brazilian Ebony. Thus the choice was made.

And Spud, please note the “correct” orientation on a Tele control plate and switch slot angle.

Thanks to Stratamania's post (about 9 years ago on other forum), I will run some copper tape under the bridge pup cavity to under the bridge mounting screws. Solder a ground wire to the copper tape in the cavity using the lead channels.

This feels better that relying on the screws and springs to make the ground.

Glad you found it. That saved me searching for the photo.
