Build #1: Baby steps of progress and build plan changes

So, I have sealed the guitar, sanded it down, and it was still rough, so I've been going back over it with 400 grit.   I am now covered in white powder [insert cocaine joke here].  Here are some photos of the progress:

75% sanded

Once the sanding is done, I'll be able to tape it up, paint it, and finish assembling it.

To finish it, I have made a build plan change.

Originally I purchased MetalWorks pickups to put in this guitar, however, I have decided that the black chrome would look out of place with the solid black hardware, so I am going to put traditional H4 and H4A pickups in this guitar, and use the MetalWorks pickups in Build #2 since they'll match the black chrome hardware I purchased for it.

The new pickups going in this guitar look a little like this:
