Thanks guys. I'm going to investigate the Compton a bit farther down the road. But for now...
Finished it, last night - it plays BEAUTIFULLY :w00t:

The pickups are custom wound single coils in humbucker format by a winder called Buddha on Reverb. They're wound to as close to JM-spec as he could get 'em. Because they're not tall like a P90, but thin like a JM pup, I worried about having enough height adjustment. Turns out, it's perfect. The tops are open like a tele bridge - which I wasn't sure about at first... but I really like how they look. Wired up to 1m pots (vol/tone - the other two are dummies), they sound great. I'm super happy with them.
