The neck pocket was particularly troublesome I was using a mini-router and there’s just not enough flat surface to keep it from getting kinked up. . I see the advantage of doing the route before cutting out the body now.
Lesson learned.
looking great though!

If you’re going to reproduce a CBS era Fender, it should be up to CBS era “standards.�

It's been raining too much, and now it's too hot, and for a while I was too depressed to do any work on guitars, but, I was able to make the neck templates yesterday.
I've also been distracted by this
I've got basically (pun intended) got everything to make a bass neck. A lovely piece of birdseye maple my brother gave me years ago, a StewMac pre-radiused and pre-fret slotted rosewood board (which I'm going to re-radius to 7.25") and a low profile dual action truss rod.
I started a template for that but the router bit I was going to use was effed up and I didn't have anymore 1/4 MDF
