BC Rich Warlock SE Body Repair and Electronics Upgrade

This BC Rich Warlock SE guitar had a set neck and strings-through-body design. The only problem was that over the years, an unsightly gap had developed all around the perimeter of the neck heel. My job was to eliminate the gap and make it look presentable. This I did by filling the gap with StewMac ColorTone Clear Grain Filler, sealing the perimeter with super glue, leveling it with successive finer grits of abrasive paper; followed by a good polishing. The stock electronics, save for the BHC neck and bridge humbuckers; were upgraded to Alpha A500K pots and a Neutrik/Rean NYS229 output jack. Kudos to BC Rich for shielding the pickup and control cavities with conductive paint, albeit with no grounding tab.
