ISUBARUI Posted July 6, 2004 Report Share Posted July 6, 2004 This is it so far i still have to route the electronics cavities then sand the neck pocket out correctly then paint it.

ISUBARUI Posted July 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 Here are two more pictures. The bearing on my bit broke so i could not follow any templates so i had to route all the cavities by hand. Thanks for the tips hyunsu, I have only been using sandpaper on the neck so far to carve it so ill keep doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
