Template looks great Chris!!

I was laying in bed today and happened to think about this project. This would be an epic design for a Bass VI as well

That is true! Plenty of length to move the bridge back more.

The body is cut out! That shape is so cool.

Nice!

Bridge and ferrules are good and pickguard template is go.

Revised headstock decal.

Got progress on the tummy cut. It is going to get a bit bigger, but this is looking pretty exciting to me. I like the shape the contour adds to the back.

It is ready to head my way! I am so excited to see it. It looks even better than it did in my imagination! I can't wait to get to work on it.

It's funny, the added slope where the body meets the neck pocket makes this look considerably more Fender-ish to me. That one little detail has such a big effect when I look at it, but maybe the (currently) natural look, black pickguard and string ferrules are just making it seem more like a Telecaster.

I like the look of that tummy cut.

Man, that looks really really fantastic. Do you already have the neck Chris?

I have a Peavey neck with a rosewood board. I think the Peavey headstock shape will echo the horns well.

I get a Fender and Rick vibe from it. I think the contours make the body shape way more interesting. It is like a piece of art. I am super excited to get it and go to work.

Oh, hell yeah. A 6-in-line tuner headstock? I think I know which one you're talking about...

Yup!

Body and neck came today and I got right to work.

I hit the body with one coat of ebony stain. Looking pretty much dark brown. I will do a second coat when I finish the sides and back all around.

I love how wood reacts to stain. Never know how it will look.

Also printed and applied my headstock decal. I think it turned out pretty well.

Back and sides are good!

The contours just make this body so fun to look at for me. It is like a sculpture.....
