I don't know why I never made a double cut junior sooner because I bloody love the thing, this is all limba loosely vintage based like old fret scale, body and neck dimensions but I wanted something different
my plan was to do a Pelham blue finish with a mojo dual foil pickup that I can split coil, I've had to wait to see if the pickup will direct mount or if I have to route the pickup cavity

I like the look of this, especially with the finish and pickup choice.
Do you need some dimensions for the pickup? it is very shallow and I would expect it to surface mount without issues assuming you are using a wraptail.
Here it is bound up and I glued the neck in at the same time

I'm using a mojoaxe wraparound, this thing is bloody good plays straight out the box with no fret dress yet, I'll be making more of these dc styles with different specs, very light and comfortable too
I only use the bloody long vintage bushings, they're 30mm long, especially in limba as it's quite soft, don't want any leaning posts ever thanks

I've got more limba if i wanted to do another one, love the stuff
I've also got an original 58 tv model basket case to restore, that's where the specs came from
seriously though I'm interested in doing various things loosely vintage based, one example is I fancy a fender scale dc junior with tele bridge pickup etc plus loads more

i would just cut the guard to fit the pickup, not reshape the curve to go around.
The dual foil looked great in tort and blue on my tele earlier this year.... so I am well on board with this
I messed about with reshaping the pickguard before I had the pickup but now I'm with you on just cutting it to fit the pickup or it'll look wrong
