Have been gradually accumulating tools, templates and timber for awhile now and decided to finally have a crack at a scratch build.
Decide to do a strat style
Used a piece of Camphor Laurel for the body ( there will be no silverfish on me for awhile).
Routed out the pickup and and neck routes before cutting the shape on the bandsaw. Then refitted templates and pattern routed the edges to clean it up a bit.
Using a pitbull neck for the moment till I can make a neck to suit.
Using hardware and pickups (SD Hot rodded set) that I have lying around.
