Today I did some thinking and puzzling on how to proceed. So not much to report, apart from this mockup I made (nothing new, just a cool picture):

Oh, and I weighed the body, it’s 1955 grams right now (4.3 lbs), so with the neck pocket and pickup routings it’ll be less than 4 lbs I guess. It feels very light (although it would’ve even been lighter without the Maple top, being a full Swamp Ash body). My previous Mahogany / Maple body was much heavier.
