Wet headplate.
 Wet neck. I like to see what it is going to look like with finish. I also use it to spot glue and bad spots on the bodies before staining.

That's a dead sexy top, but honestly I would have bookmatched it the other way.
The pickup routes and bridge are going to make a good chunk of the spalt disappear, which is a real shame in my opinion. Just my 2 cents, although I have no right to say anything considering this is better than I could ever do.  Can't wait to see it finished!! |

You will notice I didn't drill the middle holes at all... I just marked them for the 5/16" brad point bit. Then I get a measuerment for the depth and drill the ferrel holes. A trick to keeping them all aligned is to use a guide line.

After drilling the holes we do a recess for the lip.

Ok I was picture happy early and then just kinda lost track of what I was doing. Anyway... so I routed the neck pickup and cut the tenon for the HB route.

The electronics cavity layout. This is so much easier now that I have all the measurements and templates listed on a sheet of paper on my wall. Why did I not think of that before?

3/16" radius to set the depth of the carve. This will have the soft edges like the other one...

Carve Progress picks. I always start at the arm rest and work towards the horn.

The spalt on at the but of the body was very difficult to cut evenly... a little CA and some hand sanding with a curve sander and all is good.
