Removed from the press hours later.
This is where I realised that at some point my template had gotten flipped over.
The straight grain was supposed to be at the end of the body with the curved grain under the pickguard.
It had a better look about it.
Tried to make the other section line up and look acceptable, but couldn't so it was time to select the undo function.
Steam to loosen the glue.
And peel...
Some time later... a ST body with veneereal disease.
Some more work with a cabinet scraper and then some sanding cleaned it up well enough to provide a smooth surface for another attempt.
