WOO HOOO! The neck arrived yesterday afternoon! I spent a few hours of the afternoon, evening and a few this morning prepping it for attachment- new Gotoh tuners and the locking nut installed. It looks as though the nut shelf needs to be taken down a bit as the nut looks to be a bit high. Then it was time to prep the body- installed and wired up all the p'ups (SD Perpetual Burn and a Hot Rails) to a CTS 500K vol. and a WD toggle. Did a pretty good job on the soldering. Repetition/practice definitely helps! Only singed one wire (and the knuckle of my left middle finger ) and dropped a bead of solder on the cavity edge. No biggie. Installed a new input jack and ran a ground from the pot to the trem claw. Then, a new fat brass block on the LockMeister and installed that with new posts and she's ready for neck attachment. I will be enlisting Meatbomb's oversight as he has a real nice drill press and a bit more experience attaching necks. Once it's fully functional, I have to disassemble it and send her out for finishing. During that time I'll get a proper truss cover.

I don't know man. It looks quite cool just like it is in this pic. Raw, dark, flat finish. Very metal, very hard rock. btw, nice shoes and sweats too. But seriously it looks terrific. Well done grasshopper. He shoots! HE SCORES!!! Cheers! caddie
