Thanks so much, both of you!CountryDave said:Looks and sounds fab.
The pickups have really exceeded my expectations, especially as the bigger companies who offer humbucker sized Filtertrons, #Lollar #SeymourDuncan wind those pickups to have a higher output than these do.

Lollar Lollatrons: DC: Neck 4.4K, Bridge 5.3K
Seymour Duncan Psyclones: DC: Neck: 7.2k, Bridge: 8.19k
(The Creamery Classic Black Cats: DC: Neck: 4.1K, Bridge: 4.6k)
For lots of reasons I won't bore you with, I really wanted low wound/DC Filtertrons so it was wonderful to discover that Jaime at The Creamery could deliver exactly that. They're fantastic and have given this guitar the voice I'd hoped for.

The purple overspray worked out so well too and I'm so glad I decided to go that route. @lamf68 is such an incredible finisher of guitars thatI knew this one would be in safe hands. And, as always, he absolutely NAILED it. The learning from that experience is that silver or gold sparkles make a pretty damn good base for creating a sparkle finish in whatever colour you want. Getting a good finisher to deliver that being key though!
