Cheers! I have one more route to do under the control plate and then its just prep for painting.
I may have to wire it up and string it up to see how it rocks.

cheers dude I am happy with it too.
I'm with Mike. After seeing it beveled where it adjoins the control plate I think it looks much nicer that way. I might give the bevel a go on a future Duo Sonic project.

One thing; I think it looks a wee odd how there's a gap between the control plate and scratchplate, but not tailpiece. Just thinking it'd look a bit tider if it was á la the MG65 scratchplate all over as on the control plate D:

That could be easy sorted any time I reckon...I have the guitar in front of me, and I keep looking at it checking for faults haha

Yeah but I'm pish at whammies.
I've got my strat and the mustang all whammiable, but the Mustang is locked down and the Strat blocked. I think I've actually lost the bar for my Strat. Somewhere in Aberdeen I think.

Looks great... But IMO the guard is too damn big, especially directly to the left of the trem, not lining up with the other side of the trem and all...
