Thanks - your early scratchy "pinecaster" is along the lines of what I want to build... but I won't be having a pick guard or a neck pickup and I'm moving he output jack to the control panel (not having a switch - just "Gibson Junior" type volume and tone wiring) and a slightly different tiny-bit offset shape.
I've been thinking of doing it in three "slices" top, bottom and a middle with the "chambers/routing" - but I think I'll just stick to doing a bit of routing this time around.
I like the thinline as well - good decision to do the "sound holes like that - saves the frustration of trying to do the "f" hole accurately and also crating a point of difference/interest.
I see my initial problems in:
determining whether to re-position the neck socket or move the bridge and pickup route forward just a tad....
working out the distance for the scale length
I'm working off plans downloaded from "the Electric Herald" that I've made a couple of adjustments to. These are for the normal 25.5" scale length - whereas I'm going for 24.75".
Not going to make templates though - I might decide the shape is not "best" - so I'll paste the plans to the blank and then bandsaw/spindle sand.
From this angle - it looks like that headstock is angled - wish I could find one!
