SO, before work today I got the bridge pin holes reamed out to 5 degrees and the slots cut in the bridge for the strings. at break time I got the strings on!!

Still the saddle to intonate and a load of tidying to get done, but it makes noises!!

#42, I got the tuners on... and they're SO much nicer than the 4 on a plate ones!!

and then a tail piece screwed in place, and a temporary bridge "just to see"

like the dread, there is still a HEAP of setting up to do as the action is WAY too high, and the frets need dressed, the fretboard needs oiled, the bridge intonated as well as a general tidy up.

#40 had another coat of lacquer, so visually very little change.....
