I'm currently working on the neck. I am still waiting to start the body until I get the body template and shape nailed down.

TEMPLATE! It may not be shovel ready, because you will want to get your bridge and guard and build accordingly. If you are at the point of cutting the wood I can take exact measurements. I had to estimate the routs based on my own photos from my 73. The RI uses different angles because their process is probably more streamlined.

this is great. Thanks a ton. Would it be possible to export a .dwg or a .dxf of that drawing?

Neck is shaped.
I can't decide on either pearl dots or walnut dots for fret markers.

That looks amazing. The fretboard is maple? If so, walnut dots would look best i think. If its a dark fretboard then go for pearl dots.

Very cool. That looks like a familiar profile.
Btw, a bunch of people have seen my TT headcase on the demo videos, so I've been punting them in your direction on the Orange Forum.

yeah I have been getting quite a few emails lately. Thanks for the referrals. I can't keep up with building them. I barely have found time to do this neck. Since I do all my guitar work after hours of my regular job I can't find enough time in the day to get everything done I need to get done.

I did some inlays and side markers. The inlays are Pearl dots with paduak dust and CA glue to make the red surround of the dots. The side markers are paduak dust and CA glue. It is now ready for grainfilling and clear. The body is cut and should be making some headway on the routing soon.
