This is a Warmoth build site. And I will buy all the hardware I need from Warmoth. But I decided to go all out, put my woodworking skills to the test and build a body and neck myself.
Roasted maple neck blank was from Stewmac, cut out with a Stewmac template.
Ebony fingerboard from Exotic wood zone, shaped and fret slots cut with the Shaper Origin handheld CNC. Gold abalone fret markers (I cut the holes too deep, so I had to put two markers in each, lol.
White Wenge body purchased from a local wood shop. I have something creative in mind to lower the weight, since this is a very dense wood.
Mango top purchased from Australian Guitar Timbers.

Gonna be a Les Paul Junior type body mashed up with a Fender neck.

Nothing wrong with that.

That's gonna be unbelievably cool!
Bonus points for a Magnatone Mk. VII body outline...

Body shape cut. 12 inch radius sanded into the fretboard. Nut slot cut for LSR roller nut. Headstock thinned and shaped into the fretboard.
The least interesting part of the white Wenge body is the face grain, and the body needs to lose weight, so I am going to do something crazy. I’m gonna chamber the body from the back, shape, smooth, sand and finish the chambered cavities and leave it open.
