It was way more effort than it was worth. Given its custom shape, I spent a
lot of time and effort just building out the templates both for the pickguard and for the recess in the body. And now I have a bunch of template offcasts and scrap MDF that are just hanging out collecting more sawdust and cobwebs and taking up space in my workshop!
I supposed if I had a CNC, it would've cut out a lot of the extra work, but I didn't have one. So it relied on a lot of negative-space routing, trial & error with router bushings and different bit diameters, then how do I support the router when it's in the middle of the "lake" of the recess on the body.....
The guitar itself still needs a lot of electronics work, particularly with grounding and shielding (horrid, HORRID buzzing when it's plugged in). I think that's also contributing to my lack of desire to put any more work into it. Otherwise, it's comfortable and fun to play (not plugged in) and is a unique look.....but I'm really so done with that one!
And the kicker is that the neck is a beautiful one-piece roasted maple WM neck. So smooth and comfortable to play....but for the frustrations that built up in building the guitar as a whole.
