Very informative, thanks for sharing! I hope when you keep sending updates as you go along. For example, how did the '51 neck fit to the SE body? Did you have to plug and redrill the holes? Is there a gap at the neck / body joint and did you have to fill the gap somehow?
Interesting info... Keep it coming!
