You seem to be doing a fine job . I have a couple of questions, why poplar for the fretboard? The old Stellas and some Harmonys used them and they were quite soft. Also, that seems like a full load of pickups for such a short scale, are you a fan of the Rickenbacker 325s that also used three pups with a short scale? They were quite unique in that respect. I'd be curious to know what inspired such features. I wish you luck and will be eagerly watching
