ID:	293687Been rubbing and spokeshaving most of the day,the contours all have to run sweetly from one to another without any lumps or bumps 'cos sure as God makes little green apples, if you miss one, that's the jigger that's seen, front ,rear ,sides and all points between have to flow.
    Next job is grain filling, made easier these days with "thixotropic", when you can't feel anything is when it's ready to polish

    My friend BillMouland is into birds, mainly ducks of one sort or another, he does pyroghraphy and burns the feathers in, then gives 'em a coat of many colours.Put it in the garden and it's hard to tell it from the real thing.

    Had an escoptomy today, that's a barrel of laughs I can tell you, don't want another one this week.
    Result is ----I am in magnificent fettle, will be boring the pants of you all for the next twenty years.
    went for it without sedation so I could get back into the shop today----with sedation, I would have been dormant for 24 hours, haven't got enough days left to give one away.

    Guy in the middle is WILLABEE, long time friend, but he won't admit it.
    Place is Torriggia on lake Como, Italy

    Twenty more years ..... can't begin to imagine what the Neverending Story will sound like in 20 years time!

    I posted a little blurb about that photo on Hot Singles ..... didn't want racing history to interfere with the artistic minds at work on this thread.

    Boxgrove Priory------beautiful little church----next village to me, popped in there last Sunday.
    First American Airmen to be killed in WW 2 is buried there Major Fisk I believe.

    Hell's teeth Don, that's what dodging the "reaper" does for you, I've always looked like that.
    First heart attack at 44 and the game was on.
    First wife managed 38 years-----2nd damn near20 and not even out of breath, have always burned three ends of the candle -----but I'm still on fire and loving it, only thing that shows are the wrinkles.
    I do try to stay away from cameras, but they're everywhere these days, kids will soon be born with them.

    That's where the meerkat, or grebe, or whatever your imagination thinks it is, comes from / port side of the guitar base.

ID:	293833Ok Don, we have a problem, because I deep chamfered the edges all round, it reduced the surface area and the guitar looks much smaller.

    there is some serious router work to be done here, it looks like it has been custom cut to suit the hardware.
    a. Is all hardware the same?
    b. Do you want me to use this hardware as a pattern?

    have totally dismantled the Fender and it is solid but fabricated out of three pieces.
    wood is characterless and ginger and very soft but has been covered in epoxy to give it a shine.
    will pull another plank and start again if you like, can use the first effort to cobble something up, if not there's a good two hours burning to be had from it.
    Put it down to experience.

    Jackie, measure the body thickness on that Squire Strat you used for reference. Some of them are thinner than real Stratocasters. A standard Strat is 1-3/4" or 44mm thick. Difference being that a genuine strat tremolo block (the bridge piece) is too deep for one of the thin bodies. Most older Squires like that are Basswood, Alder, or Ash, and given your description wild ass guess says it's ash... But you are the woodsmith. Yes, all strat hardware will fit the way that guitar is routed, that one has the generic bigger pickup cutouts at the neck and bridge so that it can also accept double coil "humbucker" style rectangular pickups. If you want a picture of how a standard "real" Strat is routed on top, I can take you a picture or even send you a 1 to 1 outline as a file. Beautiful work by the way, I like it.
