I can vouch for Cooterfinger's mad skillz. Makes me want to start another project...

Thanks for the kind words guys.
I hope to stay busy making lots of sawdust this summer.

Are these the only bodies/guards you are producing Richard?
I really want to build a Fender Performer at some point but dont have the working area or patience to start from scratch tbh.

Fran, these are the ones I'm set up to knock out fairly easily but I'm always ready to try
something different. I'd be up for it when you get ready.
I don't remember seeing any pdfs for a Performer on the internet.
Do you have any drawings?

I dont mate. There was a French guy on fender.com that owned several Performers that said he would send me a tracing, but i will have a look online for a template as well.
Be a while yet though

No sweat, if you do come across a pdf or tracing just pass it along and I'll
go ahead and work on a template for one. I've got plenty of template
material to mess around with. That way I can work out all the bugs before
you get ready for yours.

This is awesome! I should have gotten those templates at OSG. The guy was selling
MARAUDERS! I was afraid it would drive me MAD! I ain't lyin. He even has a XII for $40. You can't think that wouldn't turn some heads.

I'd like to have a set of those Marauder templates.
BTW, I'm doing pickguards as well if anyone is needing something custom for a project.
Just posted two DuoSonic bodies in the classified.
Thanks!

Would you be able to stuff three pickups into a Stang pickguard like the Jaguarillo?

Here's what I call a Perlmutter DuoSonic. Hotrod ordered one like this and it turned out really nice
so I made a proper template. It's a DuoSonic II body with added contours an a 3 way toggle switch
in the lower horn.

I'm pretty sure this one is the body I purchased - turned it into my "relic" shell pink Musicmaster.
He does quality work on the bodies - I would definitely buy from cooterfinger again!

Yep, That's the one. Thanks for the kind words. I appreciate it.

That one wasn't mine. I think it was a robertOG body but I'm not sure. Dots could tell you for sure.
Oddly enough, my Bronco template was made from a 1972 Bronco.
Yep, just found this.

Thanks. Let me know if you ever need anything.
I just finished this lefty Mustang. I reminds me of a big chunk
of white chocolate for some reason.

Send it to Vanilla Ice.
I might, do you do custom orders? I'd like to try my hand at refinishing at some point.
