Progress. Finally

Lately, I've had a little bit of progress.
That is, I've drawn the guitar out in full scale and I've bought a pickup on eBay. (I've also got a proper worktable.) Here's the drawing of the guitar:

Only the shape is dead set. Where the bridge, pickup and controls go may change. I'll probably move the bridge a cm or two closer to the neck to get better access to the upper frets. It's going to have 24 frets and a 25"/630 mm scale. The fretmarkers will probably not look like what they do here either.

The pickup I've bought is a Kent Armstrong Distortion humbucker, WPU10 Closed (EMG style). I'll post a picture of it as soon as I pick it up.
