I started this a few days ago. Made the templates over the weekend. I slightly enlarged the body and played with some of the lines to look "right" with a 34" scale. I find that if you don't oversize the body a little and then adjust the size on the lower horn, it'll look really unbalanced. I still have to cut a guard for it - it'll be like the Cabronita pickguard.

It's a grey day in Austin, so I'll take better photos when the weather is nice and once I've cut a pickguard for it ....Anyway....

EDIT: I whipped up a quick pickguard for it.

I had the tools and the opportunity to get an updated family pic today. And besides, there seemed to be a sub-thread of these going on.
