It doesn't look too different at the end of spray compared to the beginning of spray, at least in snapshots. But today I saw your guitar in the rubout room, waiting for the finish to complete the final curing before it gets rubbed out:

But at least you can see the abalone notes under shiny finish!

Fantastic Mica!!!! There seems to be a naturally occuring sunburst and it is just blowing me away.

This Further is turning out absolutley stunningly.  Gorgeous wood and I love the notes popping up here and there.  And, of course, I'm very partial to the maple/cherry/vermilion neck recipe.  Congrats, and don't forget to breath until it's finished!
 
Bill, tgo

Bill:
 
Thanks for the encouragement. I'm turning blue, but I know it will be done soon enough.

So now's the moment of truth, time to inlay the body. Here's the initial placement of the last three inlays:

And also spread out a little more:

This is just too cool for words.

And one other slight variation:

Mica,
 
You're going to think I'm nuts, but after all our discussions today, I keep going back to your original positioning from today. I like the closer grouping because of the way it flows from the last note on the fingerboard.  
 
Maybe we straighten out the middle note, but not too much.  
 
Call me when you get into the office and we'll discuss, but I think we're ready to finish this guy up.

Here's the layout for the slightly modified electronics:
 

That big square is the free area needed for the side-mounted jack.
 
This keeps the knob and switch locations the same as a normal Further. This will be much easier when it's time for servicing in the future.  
 
The LED switch is frequently located where it's indicated on the picture. It's far enough from other functions so I don't think you'll hit it on accident, but close enough so it doesn't look isolated from the rest of the controls.  
 
If this looks good, it will be routing time for you.

Here's the LED switch, slightly moved:

Here's the layout after moving the middle filter control over to make a traingle out of the filters and not a parallelgram out of the four controls:

 
It looks good, and I think it will give the separation you wanted for using the controls. I've also reversed the positions of the LED switch and the boost switch. Let me know if this looks good enough to drill.

Mica and/or Michael:
 
What does the boost switch do?
