A chunk of padauk cut out...
...chambered....
(don't worry about the router mark; it's taken care of)
..and topped with a lovely bookmatched redwood lace burl soundboard....
Going to get a straightforward oil finish after some ovolo-ing and comfort carving front and rear (there's ~ 5/8ths depth left at rear and I've allowed for forearm and tummy cuts).
I have a birdseye maple strat neck to go on and a set of SD P-Rails which are going to be mounted in the padauk 'plinths'.
Will update as it progresses if there's interest.
