  1. I just got the decal off ebay.  I applied satin nitrocellulose lacquer on the headstock (I masked off the edges and the fingerboard before spraying).

    Once I had applied around 6 very thin coats, I left it for 2-3 weeks, and then flatted the finish and then buffed it to a sheen. Leaving the lacquer allows the solvent to evaporate so you get a smooth surface when doing the wet sanding / flatting.

     

    As for the pickups and preamp,  I just did that on a whim.

    If I was doing it again,  I think I'd just do the preamp upgrade and keep the original pickups. 

     

    When doing the headstock,  I also rolled tge fingerboard edges so the neck now feels really comfortable in the fretting hand.
