Just finished this guy. The singer in the surf band saw this body during the chambered body sale and somehow...  :dontknow:  ...it slipped into his shopping cart.

A Roasted Maple/Indian Rosewood neck had to go along with it.

It's got a S.D. Vintage Stack in the neck and a Lil '59 in the bridge. 5-way switch to split coils and give some nice options for each position.

Interestingly, the tone is very warm but the chambering results in a really resonant body. He likes D'Addario Coated Nickel strings which really give it an almost acoustic overtone to it too. It's nice and balanced. I thought the chambering might wind up being a bit light on the body side but that's not the case at all.

That's very, very nice.  And I think you still have time to get it into the GOTM competition!
