Body carves are simple on this one.

Drilling the jack cup. I am trying a different location on this one. The idea is to use an angle jack and tuck it into the strap. I used to use a strap jack years ago but I have grown very fond of strap locks in recent years. We will see how this works.

Electronics in place.

Sapele neck with Bloodwood lams and Gabon Ebony board. Sapele body with a 3/8" Cocobolo Top.

The Sapele for the neck and body all come from the same board (I love consistency in wood).

Nice on both accounts!

Still need to do a dry fit on the parts and make sure everything is copacetic. On the list is make a nut, sand it out, oil, cure.
Finished up the neck joint.
