I finally got the shaft length tuned nicely so the knobs all stuck out the proper length and got the amber speed knobs on and titled right so they don't get all wobbly when turning them up or down. I put the Faber aged gold bridge and tailpiece on the other day. I got the DiMarzio Super Distortion and PAF 36th Anniversary installed in their rings (I found a sweet trick for getting those super long springs out of the way so I could screw in the screws) and fed the wires through just so I could get a quick pic for a visual.

The Legend Tone harness went in pretty smooth once I tweaked the height of the nut under the copper plate and sits in their nicely. He sent me a long shaft (this guitar uses a short shaft) 3 way switch because he assumed I needed that one, but I didn't think to tell him short shaft, so he was supposed to wire up a short 3 way for me and get it out today, so I'll have it in a few days and can get this thing wired up.

It's coming along nicely. I think the aged gold works GREAT with the browned/faded what was probably wine red Studio and the cream rings and pups look fantastic.
