Well, I've had some problems. I ruined my first neck, rounding over the wrong edge. I started again, this time with maple. It's pretty much the same design. I got all the shaping done and hit it with a couple of coats of rattlecan lacquer. It's not apparent here, but the maple just looks fantastic when the lacquer hits it.
Starting the box work now. Sound holes, and holes for the jack and pickup. If you want to drill a smaller hole centered on a bigger one, and you really want it centered, don't eyeball it - measure it.
I'm using a rod piezo pickup. Here's the hickory blank for the bridge. You can see the slot for the pickup.

A couple of passes with a 3/8" roundnose bit and I had an "H" shaped section. Rip that in half on the tablesaw, bevel the ends, and I have a bridge.

Installing the tuners here. They're Grover vintage style. It occurs to me that the spacing looks pretty generous.

The nut is also hickory.

Almost there!
