Neck pocket and cavity routes done. Neck isn't at full depth as I think I'll need to put a break angle on it if I'm going to use the Tune-o-matic bridge. Will have to work out a rig for that. Might 3d Print a wedge for the router to run on unless anyone has any better ideas.

Basic shape roughed out. Will probably have another tickle on the band saw, then I'll hit the table router. I just needs to go and get a fresh follow bit as the one there is very tired after the last build.

Did manage to find a rusty screw, hopefully I got all of it out.

I'm also starting to second guess how I finish this. I'd like to preserve some of the wood, but brown and red really don't work for me.... and I don't especially want to make and entire new scratch plate... will keep thinking about it and see how it looks once I start sanding it.
