This is my “last built" 
(yeah right I said that last time) before the semester starts May 10.
Specs:
Chrome Hardware (hipshot)
34” scale
4 string
20 jumbo frets
Curly maple neck
Birds eye maple FB (blk veneer in Btween neck and FB)
Ash body (blk veneer in Btween core and top)
5A Quilted maple top (1/2”
Passive electronics… (jazz @ neck / MM @ bridge)
Purple dye (trans Tint)
This was 1-1/4” thick
I book matched this using my table saw, hand saw (not for long) and my power hand saw.. took me all of 10 mins...... I have a .......I want to say 8” blade on my power hand saw..lets just say the longest one that dewalt has….
The tools that was used to bookmatch this beautiful piece of wood
I cut the FB with my jig saw.. then I use my mdf template to taper the FB..on my router table....I glue it (FB) to the neck blank.. then I use my FB as a template.. I got that from someone in here….anywho… thank you…
Neck cut out…you can see the blk veneer… I make my headstock thick.. that ½” thing.. looks weak …IMO…. ..so my headstock is 9/16” or 5/8”…..thick………..in this photo the headstock is not cut yet…
Body glue up………….
I’ll B cutting this out in about an hour or so……..
And here is the color that I’m going with…
