Shouldn't a "blank body" be called "a slab of timber"?

If you are going to go to that extent of designing a custom body shape, why would you limit yourself to pre selected PUP and Routing layouts? You might as well just get an ST or TL kit?
Surely you'd want to specify the other stuff as well, and make it truly custom, or is that just my inner mad scientist talking?

Yeah those are like what I was thinking. But a neck pocket cut out would be great for me. I gave my router, the table and all the accessories to my dad when I moved down to Texas. I have to get another set up at some point after I get a metal lathe and milling machine for my shop. I am going with a CNC Fusion Kit since I am going to be using it for my Gunsmithing business that I am starting once I fully recover from back surgery. I could probably swing by my teachers shop to do the neck cut. His shop has everything! Thanks for sharing the links. I am going to look in to them. Have a great night!
Dang! Best of luck with the recovery Rick, Hopefully its not too painful a process. Look forward to seeing your build!

Yep, that's what I had in mind.
Good luck with your recovery Rick V.
