Pro tip, none of us have our poop in a group, we're just really good at faking it! 
Good tip!
What's it called? My epay search-fu is off this morning and I can't find it.

Well looks like I'll probably be in, the wood and pickup I ordered months ago showed up this week.

Thank you.

Every weekend I tell myself I'm going to at least get the shape out on cardboard or paper. It's been months, and every week I lie to myself.
I need to buy another kit... but, there's so many priorities, which are higher on the list.
Some things showed up. 
Padauk and purpleheart guitar fretboards and headstock plates, plus another torrefied black locust bass fretboard. I like the look of them, but they are more of a yellow brown rather than red brown.
I'm going to use the padauk headstock plate on the headstock of my WBO entry and the purpleheart will be used to make a control cavity cover. The plan is coming together, which is important because...

@TerribleTim68 I borrowed your pic from your Diva thread. Between the free Adobe PS express and MS paint, I managed to turn it into a B&W jpeg so I could monkey with it.
I figure if all goes well on the build, I'll shoot ya 15% credit. If all the wheels fall off, 85% blame.
That's 100% so the math works out.

Also,....all these years and I never realized that MS paint has a curved line feature. You make a straight line and it lets you pull a curve. 
Yep.
That's Tim's pic.
I made the bouts more symmetrical and made the body a tich shorter from the bridge end.
Here's a few clumsy MS paint ideas I did to help visualize the wenge/maple contrast.
Probably not the final design, just something to stare at and see if I can get the gears to break free and start creaking in motion.
