Well it's together neck needs to be sanded out. Next paycheck I'm ordering finish. Or maybe a dremel with the router base to put the headstock inlay in. I have pointed out one of my mistakes a les Paul connoisseur will be able to spot. (Hint it's the ledge where the neck meets the body in the cut away) normal Les Paul's are flush there. I'm going to try and sand it down on the drum sander to make it less noticeable. But I need to be careful not to go through the binding.
Also not happy with the pickup routs. The locking mechanism on the plunge router I used at school slipped (which just happened to be the 1 in 10 routers) the first time I though I just got off the template and blamed myself it wasn't until the second time I realized that was going on and switched routers. But it was too late the damage was done. Now I need to try and hide that little crescent moon on the bridge pickup cavity. The pickup ring will cover it but at the cost of misaligning it so I will have to cut or commission a new pickguard. Am I being hyper critical?
