Started sawing timber for this guitar today - I decided to build it to use up some bits I had lying around - including the neck (Chinese maple Strat neck), pickups (Wilkinson P90 at the neck and Artec rails bucker at the bridge), and most of the timber. Had to buy some hardware and some 2.5mm maple though.
I have left the outside edges on for now to facilitate clamping the body together - these parts will be cut out after gluing, and the centre block will be routed narrower to further relieve the weight. I have left some mass behind the bridge to try to avoid being "neck heavy". This sapele framework is to support a top and back of 2.5mm maple with a decorative flamed sycamore veneer.
