While imbibing adult beverage and browsing Warmoth website, I came across a screaming deal of chambered strat with figured mahogany top that I just couldn't refuse. Here it is after six coats of Formby Tung Oil Finish in satin. Not terribly imaginative but I do like the look of natural wood...

The shape looks very cool, but it might be copyrighted because it's an EVH model. At 9:18

I've been away for a while and didn't know there was an upgrade, though load speed seems to be faster now. I was trying out a Jazzmaster build and TV Jones routs are missing for bridge position.

It looks like somebody left a Jazzmaster in the dryer too long.

Yes I did, and it seated properly without touching anything else.  It just felt too close for comfort.

I put on 6 thin coats of Danish oil, then 2 heavy coats.  When the oil was not absorbed overnight I figure it's ready.  The oil really brought out the subtle textures. The electronics are EMG MMHZ bass pickup and B64 control.  However, I didn't take into account how much the input jack would...

Last September my order for a Black Korina P Bass with MusicMan pickup arrived.  I wasn't quite thrilled with the rather large swath of dark area but it kinda grew on me. I finally got around to it yesterday.  I used Tried and True Danish oil, which was thick but soaked into the wood quickly. ...

Need more hambuckers.

In the old Warmoth website, when I choose the Recessed TOM Bridge Route option it said that I should only use Gotoh TOM bridge.  I thought this was because of metric dimensions. It does not say that anymore.  Is this still the case?  I happened to have a set of Gotoh TOM bridge, and I did not...

It has grown on me a bit the more I look at it.  Maybe after a few coats of oil the middle will show more subtle variations.

I was hoping for nice streaks, but one big dark patch? I know, it is what it is.  The body is sanded very smooth and ready to go except some burn marks.  Maybe I can do a reverse burst? correction: the burn marks are actually small streaks.

Just got a shipping notice, ordered 8/6, arriving 9/15. It's a pretty straight forward solid unfinished black korina P Bass body, rear routed with few off the shelf hardware.

Thanks all!  That's the answers I need.

Should I use long or short shaft for a rear routed control cavity?  Warmoth also offers 3/5 way switch options for rear route but I've only see them installed on pick guard or plate.  Will they fit properly?

Usually a 3 way Fender tele-style switch is installed under pickguard or plate.  Will the blade be long enough to be installed in a rear-routed Warmoth body? I was given this option when building a body on Warmoth website.
