Added most of the hardware today, even that proved more difficult than I thought.  Since the pick-guard is of a very early design there are no holes for the neck pickup screws.  I’ve mounted the pickup on two springs with screws directly into the body.  Since the pick-guard has to fit over the pickup but under the lip of the fretboard the only way to get the pick-guard in place was to take the neck off again.

All I have to do now is wire in the pickups and controls, fit the strings and set up the action.
