    Got it home and was starting to wire it up and realized that the nut has disappeared somewhere in the move back to the states.  I've looked around and can't find it, so I am resigned to having to make a new one.  It's a pain in the butt because the nut slot is wider than a regular Strat, so I have to cut one specially.  Other than that, I found out what you meant about one of the switches not having much clearance!

    oh bugger,   Did you lose it when taking the strings off for packing?

    Did you get the switch in?  Its definitely possible, but yeah, tight.  Definitely needs wiring out of the guitar

    Not sure, it could be in England, I looked in the case and all around, but can't find it.  I've bent up the connectors on the switch, it should work, I'm just about to wire it.  The pots are in and I'm adding the caps.  I managed to use the 2 E strings to align the pickups (just using the edge of the neck though).

    Found it!  It was in one of the suitcases (but not the one I brought the neck over in).  It must have slipped out into it when I took the neck off.  Getting the superglue out now!

    I must admit, i wasn't totally sold on the chrome rings, but that looks really good.
