Interesting what you said about the effect on the tone, there are those who say that the acoustic tone of a bolt-on is almost entirely down to the neck.  I still think the body must have some effect though, it's everything working together.

That depends on whether you have a floating bridge or not. If you have a fixed bridge or set the trem to dive-only, the body has a lot bigger impact on tone.

OK, this is the last on this topic, promise (until I rebuild the old bird again...)

It's now complete - although it needs a damn good setup.  The neck is good, I think, but it needs a fretdress to get the best out of it - I'd have a go, but I've c--ked that up before!

There's a sound clip here:

... although I'll say now for the record the pickups aren't BKP - and I'll say no more about that (except that I've bought loads of BKPs in my time, and will do again, so I don't feel too bad about it).
