Put your sunglasses on, lads.

 

So shuny it looks blue from the sky refelction!

 

Very happy. Suprr close inspection will reveal some minor scratches but no runs at all, and only very few slight run throughs.

Shielding done. It was a bit tricky making sure everything was connected and the shielding on the pickguard made contact with the body shielding and making sure nothing was peeking out from under the pickguard.

 

The overlap on the pickup route fits perfectly with the shielding on the pickguard.

My advice... buy more than you think you need!

Pickguard on, pickup in with @KiOgon loom installed.  

 

We're in the home stretch now!

 

One odd thing that took me a bit to figure out.  I suppsoe my cavity was a bit shallow, so while the output jack was working, as soon as i screwed down the pickguard, the sound cut out.

 

Turns out one of the pots was hitting the shielding and that was causing everything to cut out. 

 

I shielded the shielding with electrical tape and the issue went away.
