Hmm, im not sure cutting out the cavities from the back like that was such a good idea, because the pickups arent really "touching the wood" and wouldn't sustain/resonate very well.

I suppose it will have the same sort of thin jangly sort of strat sound... your guitar body is pretty much a front to back strat now that i think about it.

Also are you using a tremolo bridge as a hardtail?!

it sounds great becuase its very hollow compared to most guitars, so its very loud sound from it, im using a tremelo bridge on it yeah, im using it as a hartdtail, is that a problum?

Well, I shouldn't speak too loudly, since i've never done alot of work on a guitar, but here's what i've seen(on projectguitar.com tutorial i think)as far as cover plates.

plastic trash cans cut up to shape. Rout a small ledge(thickness of cover) to put screws into. Usually cans have a shiny sideAND a dull side, and lots of colors to chose. By the way, whatever happened to your destruction pix? :D
