I bought this body off
@DrBob a while back. It needed a bit of filling but nothing major.
I couldn't find a pickup for the original rout so I decided to rout it for a p90.
Not having a template was a bit of a pain so I did it by hand with the dremmel router attachment. It's not 100% but it's not half bad considering.
I sprayed it in a metallic light blue that has a hint of pearl, in some light it takes on a gold tint. It needs a few weeks to fully harden before final Polish but it turned out okay considering I had to do it outside in this cold.
I am not sure what to do about a pickguard yet, I wanted an ivory one but can't find one at a decent price so may have to make one. Pretty happy with it so far. The neck is a maple one on it but would need some taken off the heel. I also have a rosewood that I just reshaped the head on shaved the neck and did a full refret. Not decided which will go on yet.

Electrics are all in though and it sounds nice enough in a strat sort of way. Will Polish it and revisit setup next week but for now I've had enough of it.
