I built my radius dish out of a pallette from work and some mdf and ply, as seen on another thread, to shape the surface of the bracing. But now I need to acquire some klemmsia clamps and a bending iron to continue this project. Will keep you all posted...

As there was no centre strip on the original guitar, I created my own with a bit of old spruce, but the bracing was the original bracing and, after being re-shaped looks good. but for me, the gem of the whole project is fitting the original wooden name label/plaque:

I've actually already cut the fretboard, and yes, I will be using the guitar one. I'm not worried about hiding the fact it was from the guitar, so ill unveil that when I come to work on it again. Will use what I can from the neck, but will have to make a new headstock.. This is something I haven't thought through yet but will when I get to it.

And using sections of the original lining, the sides are complete, minus the radius to fit top and back.
