still no more pics of the tele i am afraid but i did get the top stuck on tony's guitar tonight
first job was to roughly cut the top to an oversized shape and then a 'neck pocket' was cut out to allow it to sit over the raised fretboard
the sharp eyed amoung you will notice the pocket has a round end and the neck has a square end. This was done to allow some wiggle room in placing the top. it leaves a slight gap at the end of the fretboard but that isnt a problem as it is where the neck pickup will be - it was a safety precaution to save me killing this top.
what you cant see is that the joined top also has a layer of dark veneer on the back so that will form an accent line around the edge once its all trimmed back
its now all in the clamps!!
