I think it should end up pretty much invisible, it was hard to get an angle where I could see it on the camera!
Thanks for the advice, chaps
Just need to sand down the backplates now as they don't fit with the finish on.
Here are some gratuitous pics, I'll add some details in the next post after I've given it a good play.

I wouldn't personally choose that pickup/control setup but I love the colour and general build quality.
@vanlooy1, the drop fill worked well, it is only visible close up from where the colour coat transitions to clear at a different depth to the rest of the top.
@LastMantra, yeah the pickup and control choice won't suit everyone. It was born out of me rarely using a neck HB because it's too muffled compared to the bridge, I think the P90 is much better balanced. For the controls, apart from the killswitch effect I have no need for dual volumes and tones. Master volume, amd especially in the updated position allows me to more quickly dial it up and down for different parts of a song. Getting to the bridge volume on a LP is more tricky. I'm definitely more of a bridge pickup player!
@PeteC, I love the back colour too, really happy with how it turned out. Just dark grain filler and clear nitro.

Back in the early 80s, my woodwork teacher took me to one side in year 9 and very firmly requested that I did not continue to take the subject into the exam years as I was singularly useless. You have much McToot admiration coming your way...
