I'm known for doing dumb things, so keeping the vibe alive.
Going to blend the heel and body, 50 / 50 if it will look better or stuff up a nice guitar.

I have done a similar thing on my EXA-1

Interesting, I "was" going to flow in a rounded style between the two original kit parts. Now I must also consider your squaring off look. That looks nice in your photo.Originally Posted by FrankenWashie

If time allows, tomorrow I'll celebrate ANZAC day with a few beers and a soldering iron
Also toying with headstock shapes, this in leading the race but will live with the penciled lines for a few days.
Theres an angle from the base of the cutaway across the heel to help with playability up high (like I play that high anyway🤣I think it was about 3-4 degrees or there about.

If FrankenWashie works in the "Franken Lab" Cork Sniffer has decide he works in the "Sniffery"
So I had an hour in the Sniffery today and recessed the inspection cover.
Also did some sanding and filling from yesterdays blending of heel to body.
The back and sides will be gloss black so I'm a hoping I'll get away with that.

Nice work in the sniffery. The control cover looks good, so much better than just sat on top ex factory.

You were the first there (thanks for showing yours) but as suggested it's a must for a tidy job.
I don't (yet) have a router so free handed it with my Dremel, it was perspiration time.
The back will be black, with the black cover it will look like a great fit regardless of a thou here and there
