so heres the story. did all the work, went to put it together and ran into like 9 million problems. had tons of wiring problems which translated into a couple rewires in different ways, finally to this way that I've grown rather fond of. the neck problem was the bridge pickup fitting, stupid cover. so that had to be chiseled out a little bit. the neck was doing weird things when i first strung it up but that was fixed with a couple days of getting the truss rod just right. the action was WAY to high at the bridge end and WAY to low at the nut end. so after a bit of filing out the saddles on the bridge i finally got it to where i wanted it. and i had to use a flattened tooth pick under the nut to get it to a decent height.
Here is a close up of the body
Here is one of the back
One of the inlay and binding (2 firsts for me)
