6-a-side or 3-a-side headstock. Just looking at the pictures I can visualise it with a offset 3-a-side pointy headstock. A bit like an upside down Iceman headstock.Quote:

Today I finally finished the template / routing jig.
Going for an EMG HZ for the bridge and a Golden Age hot wound single at the neck.

Will be installing a Babicz Full Contact TOM bridge and Steinberger Machine Heads on this build.
My good buddy Mr Tim, extreme metal sculptor, welded the end on my cut down Bass truss rod.

Six a side, this one will have a Fenderesque shaped headstock...
Managed to find some time today to do some more work on the Jagitone.
Routing pup cavities, neck pocket and whilst I was at it I decided to rout the shape.. Fun....
First up, locate template so everything lines up, clamp and the drill holes 24mm deep for the pup routs.
These holes give me a place to start the rout and the depth, takes a lot of faffing about out of the job.

Pup routs to depth and the body shape cut out.
It is faster to cut the shape out on a bandsaw, but I thought this method was worth a try.
I don't think I will do it again but if you have a router this is a good way to get a nice smooth edge, saving on lots of sanding!
Next a quick check to see that the pups fit and the top routs are done!

DB! I am amazed you were able to rout that in the way you did. I would have rough cut it on the bandsaw and then trimmed it up flush with the router!
That is so clean!!!
*note to self* when I get a router, use it instead of a saw to cut the body shape....

Note to Callum....probably wise to take out detached finger insurance before you do!
Lots of shallow cuts were involved.... Done it once but won't do it this way again....
Note to Gavin and DB... Probably wise to teach me how to get my hands on a router :DQuote:
