i decided id do a matching pair of desiree and sakura svelte models with the same woods and electronics. they're both going to have mahogany bases, bubinga tops, wenge necks and ebony fretboards. the bodies are hollowed out and the tops carved inside as well as out. both will have bare knuckle p90's, hence me putting it on here - thought some people might like to see
heres the top board
so far with the desiree iv got the top cut to shape. then other things came up and iv kind of ignored that one.
with the sakura iv begun shaping the top and got the body base cut out and routed.
heres some pics so far - everythings still in a rough state and will be cleaned up obviously
base

inside of top

lower bouts rough carved

angle and uper bouts rough carved

the shoulder and cutaway will wait till the neck pocket (deep set) is cut and the top glued on. also, the base side of the body will be rounded over once the top is glued to the base. now i just have to get the other one to the same state as this one
