Lou Shields Shitar Deluxe: almost done

So Lou had ordered a custom pickup from Ted Crocker guitars.  Ted makes custom cigar boxes and pickups, and after seeing a couple clips with the pickup, I could see why Lou wanted it.  I got the body routed and started finishing it over the weekend.  After I felt it had enough coats to where it's sealed, but not too glossy, I started installing everything.  The hardest part was the pots, those were a pain in the ass to get installed.  I had forgotten that I had a similar hard time when I rewired my old es-335.  Anyway, here it is with the pickup and pots/knobs in.  I still have to get the bridge done, and it should be complete by the end of the week I hope.
