Pinecaster with a Bigsby

I have had a new neck lying around for a few months now.
I bought it for, Who knows what. The natural thing for me to do was, ask Marty to cut me another Pine Body, so I did just that.



I decide that I wanted to do one with a Bigsby Tremolo and told Marty to skip drilling it for string ferrules or the bridge. He has the Center line marked and I believe he marked the bridge holes with a pencil.

Any advice for getting everything lined up on an un-drilled body, will be considered and appreciated.

I dig the bee's wax finish that I did on my last Pinecaster, but I have been thinking about some sort of a white wash finish, something that will let the grain show through. I thought maybe take some Lacquer and thin it way down, brush or wipe it on and sand it out again. has anyone done a white wash finish? I'm not sure how well this will work on White pine either.
