I also used a razor blade and an emery board to gently roll the fretboard edges - it's made quite a big difference to how the...

A quick, fairly rough bit of photoshopping... I've tried to keep the basic outline of the scratchplate intact, but needed to change the curve at the top to incorporate the middle PU.
I've finally managed to snag a type-D pickup on eBay UK for £50, so if I'm feeling brave, I might end up creating a one-of-a-kind S2 Studio Reclaimed Limited... Designing a new pickguard seems like it'll be the hardest part. Any suggestions?

I've pre-ordered a Vela from Peach Guitars in the UK and don't even have an ETA. Seems like there's a bit of a delay in getting these shipped over to Europe. Andertons are showing that they're expecting them in on 30th June...
