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.

Hah! Kidding aside, that will be tré cool.
edit to add: I really need to have a go at a dye burst. That seems to be your thing lately and it's inspiring me to try one.

I thought you posted in the wrong thread.
Yeah, I’ve kinda gravitated to this. I like the process.

Now I get it.
To be precise, it’s a 2” radius.

I bought a hunk of 2” dowel and cut it up for body sticks. It’s the perfect size to get a good grip.
