Thanks for the support! I'm about 80% back to normal at this point but the docs are still not sure what the hell is happening in my arms. I've bought some shock dampening gloves that are designed for people with neuropathy issues in the arms.

So not this weekend but the following weekend I'll be cuttin wood again!

I'm pretty much 100% on using the EMG's for two reasons. I want EMG's for one in at least one of my 7's, but it's also going to be the tester for a pair of drop in custom Nordstrands. I'm talking to those guys about doing up EMG707/808/Blackout replacement 7 and 8 string passives so toss me a PM if you're interested so I can forward the interest to the guys. No pickup rings!

So! I pretty much spent the whole day in the shop today working on this. I got clearance from my neuropathy specialist and with the gloves I picked up, I can barely feel anything from the router. It felt SO good to get back at it.

So I fired up the mp3 list with a Testament discography and went to work.

Art (Velocity) had this busted Ibanez at home. Last time I saw him I took it with me and today I fixed up the fretboard and reglued the headstock.

With the sustain block on the Hipshot being as huge as it is, I had to extend one side of the back spring route, knocking it off center.

Getting ready to drill out the cavity.

Cavity drilled out.

Onto the routing. Check out my new gloves, they're pretty close to my old MMA gloves!

For a few minutes, I'd been really craving some Hate Eternal.

Here's the cavity all milled out

I drilled out the post holes next and recessed the trem.

EMG cavities drilled out.

And routed. I swapped between my B/D with a template bit and my Dremel with a 1/8 flatbottom woodbit to follow the template in the really tight corners.

I put some of the hardware in and threw the neck on before heading upstairs for the evening.

That's it for today - I'll be heading back in tomorrow morning to do the control cavity and top carve. The output jack is going to be a deepdish (like fender) mounted on the back. I tried a Brian Moore out with a similar jack and loved it.

I thought about refinishing the Charvel as well - I'm going to fill the neck pickup cavity and repaint it after recessing the neck and the tremolo a little more. I've got a spare EMG 81 here too so I'll have an axe a la Andreas Kisser from Sepultura's good ole days.
