Pickups are in place.
Now I need to mentally prepare for the wiring.

de afwerking mk4-4++ - blablas has that building itch again
- Thread starter blablas
- Start date
Done the last odds and ends of woodworking.
Extra chamber for the push/pull pot in the cavity lid.
Finished the knobs (still need a few extra coats of oil).
From now on it's only metal that's going to be worked on/with.

Wiring is done.
Everything worked the way it should and I want it to in one go, normally I have to work out some kinks before it does what's required by me.

The nut is finished.......
And the beast has strings!
Not yet tuned or set up, but I wanted to share this picture anyway.
Tonight I'll be doing the set up, tomorrow hopefully more pictures.

Setup and pictures is not going to happen this weekend, broke two strings a moment ago due to a brainfart, the high D should not be tuned to high G. 
Really spectacular! I hope you have the ability to post sound files. I'd be very interested in hearing it.
The new replacement strings finally arrived today.....
They are on and tuned, doing the setup the coming days and after that make pictures and samples.

Almost forgot the last build picture: Dated, numbered and signed.
I set the date at June because it was finished that month. Due to breaking two strings I needed to wait until just inside July before I received them.
