My neck pocket template is a a few inches longer than the body. it is attached to blocks at each end with some hinges so i can tweak the angle as needed. The neck section of the body is angled and the template rests nicely on that.The body is stuck to a workboard and the hinged blocks get clamped in place
not my pic, but this shows a similar neck angle being cut - it extends quite nicely either side of the pocket and even after sanding the carve i

As expected.

it has some subtle figure on the bottom half, and a few weird blisters on the top half. if i was the poetic sort i would compare them to asteroid impacts on Jupiter

Body got chambered until it weighed 4.1lb. I stained it black inside in case i want to add an f-hole later, but i probably won't
i glued the top on and decided to go back on my comments regarding double bound customs... its routed for 7-ply binding front and back, still need to finish the bit of the carve in the cutaway though.
And i have roughly carved the top

I am using 2 lots of 3-ply and a single white on the outer layer - just from allparts. All full depth, rather than a stepped channel,
It goes 1x White, 1x B/W/B, 1x W/B/W
I am still debating whether to glue them all at once, one at a time. either way, its going to be a pain

and compared to a 70's custom...
I am not going as thick for the outer layer
