I changed jpg hosting companies & combined the 2 pics for faster downloading.

The flame on that neck is killer.

I'd love to see how the contouring turns out. You're doing the heel and the back?

I'm going to further expand & contour the tummy area, the body heel & the neck heel.

Basically it's going to be contour hell without going through the wood into the chambers.

That neck is killer!  What plans do you have for the neck bolts?  I noticed no holes.

I believe that's my cue... *cough*... that's what she said!

Interesting non-str*tty str*t setup, I would be very interested in sound clips when it's done.

Outstanding flame figure on the neck. If only I could get that grade in a Jackson style neck...

I'd be careful, Mr. Doughboy, according to your x-rays you might get away with rolling the edges of the tummy cut and staying within the neck plate area for the heel contour.

(I don't know where this picture is from.)

Does anyone on the forum have any experience carving into a chambered body?

I'm going to contour it like an Ibanez All Access Neck Joint for that neck-thru feel & once it's done, I will drill & recess the holes accordingly. I do this for all my Warmoths.

I have this x-ray as well, thanks to Spike. You can't go contour crazy on a chambered strat, but I've done this on 2 other chambered strats, so I know how far I can go without hitting the danger zone.

On the solid bodies, well, that's a different thing all together. I go contour crazy on the backs. I should take pics of my 2 solidbodies & post them. They're ultra sleek & contoured.
