The body - rough sawn |
 |
With dog |
 |
I did this with a coping saw - foolish |
 |
Here's the body with the sides sanded and the neck all glued up |
 |
I cut fret slots with a razor saw and filled with sawdust and epoxy. The epoxy didn't seep in entirely on every slot. |
 |
The back of the neck. Padauk and maple. |
 |
Some rough carving of the neck, and the peghead cut. |
 |
This part was my favorite. |
  |
The body contoured, and the neck pocket routed. |
 |

 |
All strung up, but one pickup cavity was gouged oversize by the router. I'm toying with the idea of doing inlay where you see the white paper. It would be a tricky spot to try and make a patch. Notice wardrobe consistency with early shots from 2 months ago. |
 |
It plays nice! Can't wait to finish and plug it in. |
 |
Something about rock'n'roll and chicks, no? |
 |
Some boiled linseed oil rubbed in |
 |
looking good...
