    looks great Chuck, is the shape basically modelled off a Jag ? All good the routing is good practice for when you use good timber ! You don't want to take off any more material behind the bottom of the neck pocket !

    It's more a take on a Toronado than a Jag, but similar traits. Agreed on the routing practice - and I may actually leave a higher section between the pickup pool and the control pool on the proper version just to give it a bit more strength. Thanks for pointing out just how much I have taken behind the neck pocket. I don't think I'd actually thought about it!!
    Completed Builds: #1 TL-1 "Telemaster" (GOTM Oct 2016); #2 The "Maplecaster" scratch build; #3 JB-4 "Bass IV" (co-winner GOTM Jan 2017); #4 ST-1M "Surfcaster" (GOTM Apr 2017), #5 JZA-1 "EC Deluxe"
