My Custom Warmoth SG - Day 1

Well the parts finally made it here and got through customs. Really the GST bill wasn't that bad but I have already found 2 issues with the parts. The first is obvious, the "vintage tint" on the neck isn't a tint at all, it's freakn' Yellow! I say whatever, it is a miraculous wizard shape and the Nitro Satin finish feels so fast. So the colour doesn't bother me that much ... I just hope that it fades.

Then I started to make sure everything was going to fit and my stupidity struck again! I specked the output jack hole too small. It could have been worse though and I could have made it too big! Either way I have to get myself a round file and get that hole opened up a little bit more.

So I started what I could tonight. I put in the copper shielding in the two pickup routes. Yeah I know I don't really need this on an active humbucker setup like you would with single coils but I am thinking that every little bit helps and I want this guitar to sing like and angel and howl like a daemon in Hell!
