On the home stretch now, so a dedicated thread for the last bits and bobs. Just to explain the title again for the uninitiated - body size, scale length, pickup layout as per Duojet 6128, while body shape and F holes are as per a Corvette 6187 and the head stock shape as per a Corvette 6132.

Someone asked me how will you set the neck into the body? Here's the answer:



Before routing the pickup openings for TVJ Classics, I want to be sure all the parts are correctly positioned, so mock-up time.



Routing the pickup openings for TV Jones Classics with the use of a template. The making of the template took about an hour while the actual routing of the pickup openings was done in 15 minutes...



All done:



Happy

Looks awesome. Let us know how it sounds and plays!

Nice bit of chisel work on the neck pocket!

Ta, mostly routed with just the corners and final fit chiseled

That is looking killer!!!

have you made any decisions on colour?

If you're not going to have it ready for Slowyfest... I think Slowyfest needs to be postponed!!!

You can always have another one shortly after... Quickyfest?

EDIT: did that qualify as an IB;JB; moment?

I reckon that would actually look gorgeous with natural finish, especially with that black binding.

Looks lovely

Agreed, but I want this one coloured some sort of red which will look really cool with the green/brownie puriri frteboard and bridge. The neck and back will stay natural

Pak'n'Save stain? Is that food colouring? If so, doesn't look like Billy Joel approves! assuming that's him...

Yip food colouring... Billy is happy as Larry I think.
