New project...

bottom right. If you don't want the tele look for the upper horn, I would keep trying. In other words, don't do what is in that last pic.

[TeenageShutdown!]

Bottom right. Make me one too:)

[leokula]

I say upper right body with bottom right headstock?

[danbind]

Thanks for the input! It occurred to me that the control knobs were right where I would hit them on the downstrum, so I moved them back. That made the pickguard a little wonky, so I decided to mount the vol/tone knobs through the back, move the switch (or do I need a switch?), and make the pickguard smaller. I also made the body about an inch longer, and tweaked the upper horn on one version, and made the "pointy" version a little more balanced:

The bottom left body from your first post! With that offset 3x3 headstock. Perfect.

With one pickup you won't likely need a switch, unless you want to have a cocked wah sound or bypass the volume and tone pots ("solo switch"). With one pickup you can't do phase or series-parallel...

[danbind]

The "solo" switch sounds like an interesting idea...hmmm.

None of these so far completely did it for me--something not quite right. For a single bridge P90, I keep going back in my head to the double cut LP Jr. So I took the lower horn of the pointy version and mirrored it:



I rounded out the butt a little bit. This might be it. Strap button behind the heel like an SG.

Still tweaking:



The one on top, I think. Pigtail wraparound on order.

I also like the bottom right one in your first post. The upper line of the headstock matches the line of the body on both sides of the neck.

Okay, I made a little progress on this. I tweaked the design a bit, to get the balance right--here's the full size drawing:

The back end is now big enough to fit a Bigsby, although I'm using a wraparound bridge here (may decide to switch later).

I rough cut a template with a coping saw


...and then shaped it with the spindle sander, along with a pickguard template


...and then made a 1/4" copy, and a 1/2" copy, and started the headstock template:

Good progress for a Sunday!

I don't know about anyone else, but I can't see the images from the last post.

I think I fixed it. Went back to Photobucket, which works.

[danbind]

Okay, got some more parts--Pigtail wraparound bridge, Manlius Hot Howlin' Goat. Etc. And roughed out the body--under there somewhere...

[danbind]

Cutting an angled neck pocket, using my old Rhoney Ponoko template (very close--close enough--to the Eden neck I am using):

[danbind]

...and then routed the body. Starting to shape up. Some time on the spindle sander is in order to remove the wobbles from my handmade templates.
