I hate to say it but is the bridge straight ? it may be the picture.
A clear pickguard would be goregeous on that burl!It should have been rear routed so a pickguard won't hide so much of the wood.
I was eyeing the bridge alignment too, but the guitar is at an angle in the picture, so I just angled the phone and it looked way less wonky. But I'm also eyeing the alignment of the middle saddle screw with the body's bookmatch line. But if you used the neck pocket and bridge pickup I guess it's fine! Looks awesome, by the way.
Oof. Double checked it this morning, and it is crooked. Template must've shifted. The treble side screw is correct. Will glue small dowels in the other three holes, and re-mark and re-drill the others....
Easy fix nothing to worry about.Oof. Double checked it this morning, and it is crooked. Template must've shifted. The treble side screw is correct. Will glue small dowels in the other three holes, and re-mark and re-drill the others....

Why copper foil under a copper plate ? (or steel) It makes no difference at all. The only place that it would make a difference is around the coil and then it has a negative effect on the treble response.
Also foil in the control cavity is pointless because the pots have grounded backs. Just use screened out put wire to the jack and you have it as covered as it could be.
Looks like it will be ready just in time for Christmas
