FIN!
Had to take it apart again after first stringing it up because I'd wired the pickups in phase, and had wired the 3 way so towards the neck = bridge pup..
But it's done! Yay! Thanks loads to Hurb, NickD, Bassintom for their help and parts, it's most appreciated. Vid and review to follow.

Why is in phase a bad thing?
Anyway, looks really, really great. I can't wait to hear it.

Is in phase the thin clangy one? That one, either way. It's fun, but I prefer the classic neck & bridge sound.

It does look really really sexy. I still do want an all black strat.
Actually I want all my guitars to be all black with maple neck.

Haha, nowt wrong with that.
I need to file the nut down a bit- it looks like a homemade one, and runs a bit too high on the bass side.. can't be arsed to cut the slots deeper.
