Alrighty then...
Day two. After shopping, banking etc I finally made my way into the Man Cave.
First, body blank out of the clamps, clean off the glue bead and a few quick passes through the drum sander... YUMMO!
There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....
Then it was time to re visit the neck..
First, run the heel end through the drum sander to flatten and square it up.
Next cut the neck out on the bandosaurus then on with the template and rout the profile.
Next up is rough out the headstock shape...

Then mark out body shape on blank...
Not bad for three hours work

Nice, blends together well.
Are the blackwood body blanks in the PBG shop done like this?

Only when it comes to Teles or chunks of tree that can be turned into Teles
