I had considered plugging the holes and doing just that, I had a chat with @KiOgon in regards to looms and he suggested
”I suggest a 2 volume and 2 tone setup with 0.1uF on the P pup and .047uF on the J, gives you a wide spread of tones and versatile blending”
so I got him busy on making that, as luck would have it, had “a drawer full” of alpha mini pots which also saves me having to drill the holes to a bigger size
so as it stands, neck is painted, wiring loom is on its way, @Andyjr1515 is sorting the body for me, the paint is standing by for the body when I get it back!
will definately post Finished results when it’s all ready to go again
I’m going to use the existing hardware for now but considering a change to either black or gold (neck is and body will be black)
I’ve found someone that makes foil stick on headstock decals/badges so a direct replacement to what was on there, if I go gold hardware, the decal will match, any other colour will either be matte silver or “chromed silver”, again, undecided currently...
