Modified V Build

I'm not using plywood. I laminated a body blank out of poplar planks. Three .75 inch planks in the middle sandwiched on the top and back by 2 planks each which had been milled down to .5 inch. The result was a 1.75 inch body blank.

The cost of mistakes includes the need to make custom pickup mounting rings to cover sloppy cavity routs:

The need to do this, and the difficulty I was having getting something passably decent looking, was what actually stalled this V build a couple of years ago. More I can continue with yet another mistake fix, which is "adjusting" the neck pocket rout by moving it about 1/32” towards the bass side.
