I recently started this double project, Tele-like guitar and Jazz-like bass guitar.
I chose the same wood for both bodies (zebrawood) and for both necks (maple), and for both kits I chose the black hardware and pickward options, so I guess I can say they will make such a beautiful couple when finished!
This has been my progress so far:
- I made a really-mocking build only to have an idea of how can I expect my guitar and bass to look and to check that everything was included in my kits.
- I sanded the bodies up to 1200 grit.
- I have shaped both headstocks and sanded them, again up to 1200g. Though I took as models the classic telecaster and jazzbass headstock shapes, instead of transferring them to the wood with coppy paper or outlining a cardboard already shaped, I drew the outline by hand, so the shapes can be slightly different... or more than slightly.
My next step is making a more proper mocking build in order to make any adjustment needed. I expect to be able to finish this task today before for both kits.
