| | Registered User | | Join Date: May 2004 Location: Northern Virginia | | | oh man, my sincerest condolences ...this is going to be hard work. My suggestion would be to use a table saw to remove the body wings ...there seems to be plenty of mahogany left for the body width.
Remember, you always have to be a couple of steps ahead of the whole process. Before you commit something (cut, glue, rout) you have to think carefully about what lies ahead.
Best of luck to you.

You don't have to cut off the body wings, it will be alot of work but you can do it if you try

Great looking bass!
Second:
Wouldn't it been a lot easier if you had cut out the back of the neck before glueing the body wings and the fretboard? |
