Leftee Contributing Member ********** ********** ********** ********** VA The Escalator	Jun 30th, 2019 07:23 AM   Edit   Profile   I thought I'd try my hand at something a bit different. About 6 weeks ago I ordered this body - chambered mahogany with a quilt maple top. The neck pocket is shaped for a Strat neck. The neck will be a Pau Ferro Strat neck (the whole neck is PF) I found on Reverb. I think I had it bolted to a Tele body, at one point, just for a picture. I've got a set of Fender Original Vintage '52 pickups to go in it. I stained the body yesterday. Front

Leftee Contributing Member ********** ********** ********** ********** VA The Escalator	Jul 1st, 2019 06:01 AM   Edit   Profile   Lol Now I get it. To be precise, it’s a 2” radius.

Leftee Contributing Member ********** ********** ********** ********** VA The Escalator	Jul 1st, 2019 08:06 AM   Edit   Profile   I bought a hunk of 2” dowel and cut it up for body sticks. It’s the perfect size to get a good grip.
