Hopefully this is how the final body will look. The Pre-amp cover will be held in place by magnets as I will need easy access to check the low battery light etc.

It’s gluing time!

I just laid a couple of pieces of thin ply over the body so as not to leave clamp marks on the soft pine. Unlike my first pine guitar I have put some locating pins in the 3 pieces to stop them from “squirming” around under clamping pressure while gluing.
