PJazz Body - Bender ( Fender body by Buzzard )

Wood Species: African Mahogany base, White Ash top, Berlinia Neck-Thru

Wood being used

Body Assembly Photos: Mahogany blank: May 30th: jointed, glued, clamped.
Body is ready to be thickness planed with my new router and sled. The thickness will be finish sanded to 1" and then the ash will be glued to the top of this . . . after a few more steps like making the first body into a template.
Cancelled making my body shape into a template. Dave's body outline is going to be to Fender specifications. Here's a paper template photo.

Body Work: 1/2 way, 1st6 pass planing complete, and sanded.
Body Sequence Photos: Keep in mind this is a neck thru project and most of the body work will be shown at the Neck Sequence photo section. But there most likely will be "doubles" here: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 6 - 7 - 8 - 9 - 10 - 11 - 12 - 13
14 - 15 - 16 - 17 - 18 - 19 - 20 - 21 - 22 - 23 - 24 - 25 - 26 - 27 - 28 - 29
30 - 31 - 32 - 33 - 34 - 35 - 36 - 37 - 38

Finish: Semi-solid to solid White on Mahogany body and back of neck and Transparent White on Ash and Berlinia top faces . . . all clear coated . . . thinking of a two-tone bringing the semi-solid over onto the top of the body.

Pickguard: Nope

Finger/Thumb Rests: I see in a few photos you use a pick, but do you ever finger your strings? I know you saw tyhe other job I just finished with that fingerboard extension . . .

Bridge:
Black OEM Deluxe

Bridge/Pickup Covers: None.

Strap Buttons: Black oversized head buttons.
