 I have been dragging my feet on this just getting going again :) I hope to string it up late this week waiting on some tuner parts. Carlo gave me a dummy tail piece (thanks Carlo) I will be doing final sanding on the body  and shooting sanding sealer next week. In two weeks I hope to have it all done but the pickups :)

I'm in the shop more and more these days so it's easy to run this along side other projects :)

That is coming along nicely. The pickguard turned out great, I agree about the nice slab of wood. Single Pieces of Honduran Mahogany large enough for a T bird body are getting harder & $$$$ to find.

What color are you going to paint her?

 Black I think..........................to match my Jaebird ;)

 My ferules for the tuner showed up today so I was able to string this puppy up ! Dimarzio model G filling in for now :) First song played ? Won't Get Fooled Again.

Looks great Scott!

That particular variation of the shape is really my fave for a Fenderbird.
