Are the radii different on those pickup routes or is it just an optical illusion?

Good eye!  Body is a few years old, it originally had a single pup route done by CNC using a standard 35 series program.  I added the correct shaped route for the bridge pup for this 2 pickup order.  That's one reason I stopped using outside suppliers for anything I can do myself.  Pickguard pickup cutout is correct and hides incorrect route.  Bridge pickup gets a spacer and ring.

Lefty Ebird.  Customer plays right handed flipped so it will be an easy set up.


Which lead me to this...


On the rack in zero gravity.




Thanks for the  encouragement on the RNR!  Body took quite a bit of work to get it ready for paint.  Going to be Shoreline Gold, or as close as I can get with Rustoleum 'Gold Rush' acrylic lacquer.  Shinto Rasp is the sh#t!

Roy's Daphne Blue NR with matte finish neck waiting to be pick guarded/ringed before shipping to Singapore...and the Shoreline Gold RNR, just waiting.  Shot the lacquer Saturday, put it together this AM to have a look see.  It's growing on me.

Okay. Now I really really want an RnR.  Too bad I have no bass funds at all currently :(

What's the starting price for an RnR anyway? I don't see it at all on your site...

Thanks, Paul!  Single pickup is $1395.  This is the prototype, that's why it's not on the site yet.

I like it better than my second design.  Nice job.  I think you've hit in a nice look there.
I'm fixin' a hole where the rain gets in..........cuz I'm built for a kilt!

Yeah, Tom! 

I've never understood why the original TBird shape came to be called the 'Reverse'.  I try not to think about it these days.

 Same! It should be the other way around.
