all done!!

I'm really pleased with how it's turned out.

I had to leave out the preamp as the thinnest one I could find was still too thick to fit on the edge, but I've ordered an external preamp.....

Balance on the strap is good & it's not at all neck heavy, and it holds it's tune well so far too.

here's a sample of it, but be warned I'm using a Squier SP10 practice amp as a preamp then out of the phones socket to the PC, so not EXACTLY studio situation!!
