First up was some more routing.
I had to make sure there was enough room to put the pickups in. Once you see the top you'll understand. Speaking of the top, I cut it out as well. I did it by hand, and not CNC machine. It came out alright. I'm happy with it.
This is a maple top. I cut the pickup routes for a Fender special humbucker in the neck. A single coil in the middle, and a standard Tele bridge pickup in .... well bridge. You can now see why I routed the guitar like I did. It has (what is called the) swimming pool route under the pickups. It is routed in a circular pattern for the F-hole and electronics.
Next comes the glueing.
My next step is simple. Wait. Yep, I have to wait 48 hours until I take the clamps off. I like to give the glue plenty of time to dry. Once I take the clamps off, I can route the final shape of the outside.
I will update with a new blog once I get some more work done.
