I've never been one for the "funkier" shapes (Mr. Boring here) but I gotta say this is looking sweet! Can't wait to see more pics!
Thanks for all the kind comments so far, really appreciate the encouragement.
For todays work while i wait for the paintshop near me to open after holidays, i decided the top edge corner should be slightly less of a radius, so i added a new piece of wood. no one will ever notice except me.

Wait a minute ... that sounds like Rock and/or Roll!
SG-1 ... "Little Miss" finished in Flamenco Cherry Wudtone
TL-1A ... "Slugger" finished in Antique White Nitro
EX-1 ... "Metal God" finished in nickel-plate (work in progress)
ST-1A ... "Scrapper" stained and finished in linseed oil ... and with the "secret weapon"
GR-1SF ... "Rocker-billy" (just arrived, work in progress)
I always love to see someone get creative with the body profiling.
This should be a little beauty when she's done.
Neat! Reminds me quite a bit of my late 90s LTD, my first decent guitar bought new (sorry about the poor pics!):
Neck looking reasonable, Analine dye, still need to apply satin clear over top.
Nice one Jay. You got any coats on the body yet?

nah not yet, ive got a tin of primer ready to go. Found there was a crack in the in the back of the body that kept opening up, ive glued it together hasnt reappeared...yet.
also been trying to figure out what shade of white to use. Needs to be on the 'warm' side think.
Body primed, ready for hours of sanding back and fixing the dents i couldn't see before.
Does anyone know the difference between Fender Olympic white and Arctic white? As in which one is less yellow? I found a huge discussion on the subject but no definitive answer.
