Jazzmaster scratch build

What's Hot
CorvusCorvus Frets: 2924

A Jazzmaster build for my 17 yr old, pretty standard stuff with Mojo J90s and a Wilky-pattern bridge, the neck will be angled to suit.
The bridge will have saddles shimmed to make it's radius match the neck. Worked out the shim thicknesses, I'll use spare feeler gauge leaves to make shims.

Fat ol' slab of ash. My boy made the template, bandsawed & routed the outline. Then with two bands and other things happening I ended up taking it on.

Cavities etc

Bought a paddle-head neck to save time but hope to make a chunkier neck later on.
It was going to be gloss black but not sure what the final colour is now so might need a new p/g.
