Fun with a scroll saw, spindle sander and glue. Just the first coat of shellac applied to see how the color pops.

Thanks gents. I feel like I’ve squarely stepped off into cartoon-land. I was probably overdue. 😂
I’m thinking I need to make the neck pickup ring instead of using a metal one. I’ve also though about going further and making a wood pickguard that extends down to include the controls. Still pondering that thought.

I’m really leaning towards a Warmoth neck with a blank headstock. Larry inspired me. 😎

I keep thinking it would be cool to have a custom branding iron to burn into a headstock.

Thanks!
I’ve got the neck. I went with one of those WD Bubinga Strat necks. It’s right-handed so this will be a reverse-headstock guitar. The neck really sets off the body - like it needed any help. 😂

Looking good! I admire your creativity. The reverse headstock will top it off nicely.

Thanks! I don’t know if it’s creativity or just my weirdo-ness. Either way…

Other than evoking the maize and blue of U of M, I like it!

She's done except for strap buttons (ordered) and a set-up.
The body sides are a milk-chocolate brown and the back it just a light golden brown. The color you see on the back is from the wood grain. Really glad I went this route on the back.

I'm digging the Bubinga. I'd be tempted to get one of those just because I like saying Bubinga.
