It's beautiful! How's the armrest feel?
Thanks! The armrest has been fine - I've been more aware of where I position my right arm when playing. The banjo-style armrest ends were a bit high off the body which was concerning as I didn't want to catch my sleeve or scrape my arm on the ends so I gently tightened the ends down a bit as best as I was able (not much, heh).

Yup, back in 2020, I had my guitar tech install Lindy Fralin Hum-Cancelling Dogear P90s. The pickguard couldn't be raised any higher to fit the right side of the dogear pickups so he asked me if it was cool to cut into the pickguard so that the P90 dogears could fit. I said sure, I'd rather see the right side of the dogears than have them hidden under the pickguard anyway. Really great pickups, btw. Here are some old photos:
