All finished now though. One step I skipped as per your build was I bought a pre-finished allparts neck which added about £70 to the build but I could not have finished as well, especially in nitro.
Great minds I reckon! and cheers @paulnb57

Wonky pickguard edge in front of trem:
And made un-wonky with careful filing - a fussy job, but I think these things make a difference in the end:
Was hoping I might just avoid it, but the neck absolutely needed a shim, so made one out of some spare ash veneer I had. Not a big deal anyhow:
The nut is gradually getting done, still some shaping required and the slots taking to correct depth, but getting there...
...which has meant drilling another hole in the scratchplate for a mini-toggle:
- could have used a push-pull pot I know, but I just don't like the things. It's only a slight aesthetic compromise anyhow.

And great news, a package arrived from Croatia this morning - so looks like soldering is on for this weekend.
I will at least draw up my wiring diagram to work from, this evening, so I'm ready to go with the soldering tomorrow.
