First Scratch build.

Not sure on the configuration of the pickups yet.

I have a mini humbucker, 2x emg humbuckers, 2x low output chrome HB. 2x black metal type HB and a set of single coils. Too many options.

Looking good Dan. I really like that shape, any contours planned?

[GlennGP]

Yep, nice shape, and thanks for the pics of the router with various bits on, following the template. Gives me a much better understanding of the process.

I like the body shape. Looks wise I kind of like the single pickup in the neck position. Very Jazzy. Wouldn't be the most versatile set up, but I find the visual aesthetic is very important for me when it comes to pickup style and placement.

looking good Dan, shape looking good.
also good insight to show forumites that scratch body builds aren't that difficult, well done

Hey Dan, is there a switch in the body for pickup selection?

[wokkaboy]

Pest I'm sure Dan plans to put a pickup selector switch when he works out what pickups he's putting in and where the selector switch will be, less routing if it goes next to the volume/tone pots

I solved that problem by only using one pup, lol.
Yeah I just wasn't sure what switching would be needed.

I finished off the rest of the routing for the neck pocket and pup this arvo.

Brilliant "how to", thanks Dan - honestly, as a visual learner, this is worth so much more than a thousand words on the subject. A single look at the neck pocket template and the line across the body and you've solved about twenty scratch-build mysteries for me. Sweet.

I decided to keep it simple and use a single neck pickup. Though I will be using a selector switch to split the mini humbucker, along with a volume and tone pot.
I'm still yet undecided on a Tele style control plate or if I will do a rear cavity for the controls, LP style.
