Good old powered fret-saw/Hegner. Drilled the hole at the big end and then fed the blade though and reattached it.
Finished off the body routing, quick shape and sand on the oscillating sander, and some edge routing.
Wasn’t sure if I was going to curve the front edge or leave it crisp, but a slip of the router when cutting out the body decided it for me!
Lots of fine sanding now.
Back and middle stripe are beech, and the side-top pieces are sapele.

Just made a surround for the neck pickup.
Nice clean look.
What's a good and not too expensive source?
Or just go for the cheapest on eBay?

It's my first proper build from scratch, as opposed to kits, so still working out where is best for bits n pieces.
(formerly customkits)
What are are these pickups like, are they active ?
I agree about avoiding cheap screws, removing a sheared screw is no fun, having had to do it for a once for a tuner, it’s not worth it.
Couple more bits done this evening after work....
Routed out an area for a recessed neck plate. Not as neat as I'd like, needs a bit of tidying up.
Also drilled the hole for the jack socket.
Been over the whole body with 600 paper, and debating whether to go up to 1200 before oiling/waxing.
Oh yeah, and sanded off the headstock of the OLP neck. Some nice grain under there...
