Couldn't be bothered starting a thread but just wanted to post this link.
Eyguitars are selling affordable left handed Jaguar control plates.
https://www.eyguitarmusic.com/Left-hand ... _2789.html
They are also selling a lefty Mustang control plate, which seem to be hard to come by.
It's the bonkers mis-shaped version I've been complaining about. but it's something!

I've had a bit of a cold so I haven't been able to work on this as much as I would like,
But it's mostly done.
Just gotta rout the pickup and tremolo cavities.

The owner is having it finished in Sonic blue, with white racing stripes, matching headstock. Unless he changes his mind.

Thanks!
Those are cheapo witch hat knobs. I must have got them from China through Ebay,
They are not as nice as some. The silver isn't as chromey as legit knobs.

Just joined OSG mainly to say I'm super impressed by the guitars in this thread.
In the past couple of years, I've contemplated building a guitar with a Mustang body, 25.5" maple neck, JM neck p/u, and Tele bridge. Seeing the incredible creations here has me thinking it really ought to happen. Thanks for the inspiration!

I am currently using Inkscape. It's open source freeware. It has the best line curve edit function
out of the others I have used.
Anyway, I am playing around with the idea of upgrading the Cross logo.
Which one do you think looks better?

B reads a little clearer to me, though just subjectively I do like them both about as much.
