No, this will NOT be a thread on big bottomed girls. Sorry to disappoint. If you want to see my bud Oigun build a hollowbody guitar though, stay tuned.

Today I did some designing on a (full) hollowbody guitar.
I'm aiming on a recognisable but traditional shape.

Any comments are welcome.

The top is out of the mould, its abit to big still but I will take care of that as soon as it is glued to the sides.

The sides are bend out of 3mm mahogany:

I wonder what pups I should use. P90, filtertron or my own mosritisch handwound customs...
Use a tailpiece or a bigsby etc.

I decided that the scale is gonna be 25" and I think I go for P90's. I have a set of toneriders so we'll see

I've made an accessory to route the bindingchannels.
A drawerguide and some scrapmetal welded together.

It takes some nerves but it worked and I've just glued in the bindings.
Pics Later when they are scraped and dried.

I'm a little further now, the neck has received the fretboard and binding:

Also made the neck joint , it was a bit of a fiddle but it fits like a dream now.:

Lets see if I can do the headplate and fingerboard inlays tomorrow...

The neck is fretted and shaped and also fitted in the body. The top and back are a little dirty but I wait with final sanding till the very last because it is veneer and I don't want to go through ;)
