    Yes i think so but i haven't done a template for the control cavity or mortice and neck etc

    I'll be borrowing a 56 single cut to copy and i think the horn shape looks a bit different, we'll see when i get round to that

  • @poopot I like the look as it is, very utilitarian.

    But I have to point out that:

    Build -   The build phases will run from October 1st to December 31st.

    Ahhh, but... if you read the first part of the thread... 1) im having to build the “kit” from scratch as no one does one 2) I’m practicing on something cheaper than mahogany first and 3) I’ve ruled myself out of the voting anyway :)

    A total disregard to the brief seems to be par for the course on this challenge.  

    i don’t mind one bit as long as people are taking part, posting progress and attempting to keep us entertained. 

    I dont actually think poopot is too far off.  You can buy guitar kits which are little more than a pile of materials.  The tele is clearly “planning” for the main challenge build. 

    im not letting poopot exclude himself either

    Have you not painted that yet @poopot? :) By your standards this is slacking!

    Looks good. Are you addicted yet. It's fairly inevitable.

    Darren are you going to David Dykes? If so I might bug you a small favour, just a little one if I may

    Normally I'd agree with Bill but slowing it down gives a better result imo, if i i get desperate I'll let stuart give it the afternoon finishing treatment and get it out the way

    I'm after some spanish cedar, I'll pay him direct, if you could pick me out a nice light chunk or 2-piece that'd be ace. PM incoming.
