PRS style PJ-Bass

[kuanjb]

You are probably completely over filing, but I wonder if the bevel in the treble side cutaway needs to extend a bit closer to the neck. If I knew how to do it I’d draw on the picture for you. It doesn’t need much, but to me I think it would look a bit more even.

I think I know what you're talking about. The uneven bevel is intentional though. It's 2.5cm all the way around except for the much larger bevel at the top. Trying to get it similar to the PRS S2 design which effectively has the centre line for the top flat shape shifted down by a couple of centimetres. The PRS bevel is maybe a little smaller though, but the kit already had a 2.5cm bevel so that's what I used.

The other thing I'm tossing up between is whether I add a pickguard or not. A lot of traditional F style basses do have pickguards and I also like the look of the PRS S2 Standard and S2 Vela which both have pickguards. I've done a mock up of what I'm thinking. It also I think makes the curves look more balanced on the treble side.

What do you think? With or without pickguard.....
