Cobain Mustang near completion

Cobain Mustang #1 v3 almost done. Finished level sanding body. Sanded neck, stained neck, lacquer coated and then resanded. Added the plastic sleeves on bridge for tuning stability. Made the plastic shorter on the right side post and added foil so that it would easier. Control Plate bevel and countersinks done. Need to string her up and line up pickup, should have enough wiggle room and wire up electronics.

Had to chisel bottom of control cavity, forgot to take into account spacing needed for output jack. So far everything else lining up great. The CNC modification to steps in the XY plane are really accurate now. I ordered some tuner and have some vintage ones I put on but the High E E string tuner is bent weird, I’ll try to repair if I can. Should finish this thing tomorrow can’t wait to hear the Univox clone pickup I wired.
