Nice. Real nice.

Any chance that covers can fit with those rings? The coils are way exposed and one wrong dig in there and the pickup is shot.
Hope you mean .047uf tone cap instead of .47uf. ;)
The bridge pickup looks really close to the strings. Still setting up or is that where you like it set? Curious cause I'm thinking Stratitis may set in.

I did mean .047uf, yes I'm planning on getting covers haha. I'm still adjusting height, the pickups are higher than normal due to the neck Angle

Gotcha. That body shape looks really good as a carved top.
 
Re: NGD Warmoth Content (shiny)

Looks great! I think you did a wonderful job. For a little cleaner job you could run the ground wire though a hole from the middle pickup cavity through to the spring cavity and attach it to the back of the claw. Other than that I think it is awesome!

Fantastic. Love the wood grain look.

I agree with eric about the carve top. It does look better than the flat top. The lines just work.
 
Re: NGD Warmoth Content (shiny)

Thank you! I'm loving it so far
