New project... This is hopefully going to be a 66 shaped body to go on my cheapish Squier Strat.
Its one piece ash, mainly because the local timber merchant didn't have any narrower 2in planks of Ash I Iiked the look of.
The 66 body profile is because my No 1 instrument is a early 80s Tokai Jazz bass, and I thought it would be nice to have a match. I don't rave over the hardware layout on the 66 though, and in any case the Squier already had a pair of Seymour Duncan humbuckers. It also had an old Shadow midi pickup and a middle pickup as well, but I've decided all that was too much of a good thing, so this will be simpler. I failed to draw a JB style control plate I was happy with, so until I change my mind its the simple Telecaster shape that's planned.
