The hole is real and functional, you could do a Kangaroo shaped hole

All done apart from the finish, gonna play it for a while then pull it down for finishing

Got the neck fitted and am super happy with the fit of the joint. It's a funny looking thing but i really like it and it seems to balance great.

Cool, what color is that gonna end up?

Hoping for a bright orange stain. Might do a black first to bring out the grain. .

Working on this

Its going to be hard to fit a neck pickup with that thing blocking the hole but other than that i really like it . All your stuff is pure And very inspirational.

A bit late, here's the finished product. It's pretty hard to capture the correct hue of the finish and wood figure. Looks waayy better in person. Rosewood neck is a marvel to feel. Soft V with a correct '58-59 LP profile. Smaller than my R8 for sure. Smooth. Ebony board as always makes for effortless bends. I LOVE the tele bridge pickup, wow, I've been missing out for years. Don't dig the neck p'up too much. I may sell it and put a double cream HB there in the upcoming months. Maybe a HB sized p90. Probably will drop tune. All and all, worth the wait (this started in late winter/early Spring).

I do have a '62 double cut Melody Maker that's being restored/finished in TV White (a projected started in the Summer). Did minor work and all the wiring on it before the refret/refinish. Should be done by late Dec.



Did manage to score a relatively clean '60 single cut MM for a steal. Made an offer and it got accepted. I had leftover change after selling my motorcycle. I'll be doing all the work on this one. Should be straight forward. Replacement parts/setup. Hoping to finish in late Jan. Will have to sell parts/pedals to fund this.
