Well almost....I need to know the stringspacing to lay out the fretboard and the height of the saddles to calculate the depth of the pocket....
I need a list of all your formulas. Now.

Step one:
Step two:
So THATS a long neck Tenon - I like to take all the glueing surface I can get....
The weight came down to 2240g and I still need to carve the neck and the belly carve is missing too....
I did not take as much pictures as last time. Have a look here if you want to see more detailed how I do a neck pocket or a pickup cavity:

It's really coming together nicely. How much are you gonna charge me when it's finished?

So I hope this is being donated to the "Pez is shit at woodwork and can't make his own guitar, he also can't afford to buy any more guitars because he is buying a house" foundation when it's finished

Such clean work. Well done sir.
@all: than you very much!
I found some time to figure out the bridge position and finalize the body outline:
Guess what I did here:
.....right, the neck was a little square for my taste....
Getting there, I'll refine the profile over the next days, don't like to do it in a rush....
I don't like flat Ibanez Wizard like necks, this is a neck for real man a chunky rounded D with flat shoulders. Something between a D and a V.
I'm still waiting for the headpiece, thats why I did not work on the "headstock"....

Ah.. the neck profile that was popular back when men were men, and sheep were nervous.

@eddiwarlock: would you be so kind and remove your 19 pictures from this thread? Yes, those are local woods for you, but this thread was meant to be a build thread and not a thread about local woods....
I'd do if i could man. Sorry to have bothered you.

Dude, Thanks so much for posting pictures of your builds.
I learn so much from you guys....

At the moment:
1st fret -> 22,5mm
12th fret -> 24mm
some material will be removed during sanding.
But it's mostly the shape that makes a neck feel thick or thin. A U feels much thicker than a V even with the same thickness.
Me too! I carved the belly cut yesterday, and started sanding the body. This thing really starts to look sexy now... the weight came down to 2040gr total.
The ABM Headless Bridges are quite heavy ~270gr for 7 off them. But I think the finished guitar will stay under 2400gr. We'll see. Pics soon.
.....the access hole to the control cavity:
and another one with the "cover" in place:
Now thats a clean back! Ola did something like this on Nr.4 but more Strat like with a pickguard on front. #4 – Demo | .strandberg* Guitars
The belly carve is almost done:
the ends of the fretslots are filled with a mixture of epoxy and plum wood dust...
All I can do now is sand and wait until I got the headpiece from ETS.....

Walt, I've had enough of all of this teasing. Please finish this build immediately.
Sorry to sound like a broken record.

Pez
PS. Love the input jack position
