Why'd you route out so much of the bridge pickup cavity?

It came like that, the pick guard covers the whole cavity.

Very nice! Looks good and looking forward to seeing it finished. What color are you going to finish it with? If you are interested and have some time, check out Eddie Van Halens videos on youtube(I dont have a link) but he has been explaining some of the tricks he has done to his guitar chasing that tone. Pretty cool to see if you are into that kind of music.

I’m a Van Halen fiend, I got a jackson with a floyd rose but it’s pain in the ass so I’m trying to make a guitar I can do trem tricks with that I can also tune. It’s gonna be either cream or white.

It’s a squier body, I’m on a budget. Everything else including the neck is aftermarket
