Advice needed - 70s P neck on a new Aerodyne body?
Dave W:
That's definitely on the light side for a J body, even for swamp ash.

Got some progress pics today in the mail. Now they are going to darken the exposed wood and buff it. I opted for no checking. It looks a lot like the color and wear on my '75 P (relic'ed by 40+ years of playing, 30 of which were my playing).
ilan:
Received the body. Very nice and light weight. But it's drilled for a side jack. I didn't ask for that. It's visible in the secont pic but I didn't notice.
MJT offers to make me another body.
I'm not sure what to do. First, I don't want to wait another 3 months. And I don't know if I'll get a 4lbs. ash body. And I already paid a total of $183 for shipping to Israel + VAT + fees, I'll have to pay that again for another body. And I'll have to ship the current body back to the US. All that adds up to almost the cost of a new body.
Any advice? Should I just live with the side jack hole?
Come on, make fun of me for ordering a relic and complaining it's not perfect.

FYI, the very first run of Aerodynes have a side-jack. I prefer it FWIW.

What am I going to do with the 4th hole in the control plate then?
