Got a few things done today along with the rear contour. Drew up the pickguard and cut a tester
This was mostly to locate where the switch will be so I could plan out the routing template.
I also trimmed down the headstock a little, because I can't help myself.

nice work Pabs, love the pickguard shape and the routing channel for the switch wiring will be much neater if it doesn't have to go via the pup cavities

loving that tummy cut pabs, very unique!
For some things, some times, it's the same time all over the world, and I think we know what time that is...
Coming along nicely Pabs, that headstock shape is bang on.
Looking good Pabs. I must say this shape of guitar is starting to grow on me. How about this for a beer belly tummy cut?

Thats just a baby beer belly. A few more decades of indulgence, and you may catch up.....
....
mmmmm, beer........
Thanks all.
Plugged and redrilled the switch hole.
Turned out pretty well. Forgot to remove the pencil line from the dowel, so that ended up in the join. Whoops. It'll be hidden anyway, so no biggie.
