First, the drawings.....

Here is the Broadcaster body drawing...



Like the first broadcasters, there is no wire channel route under the pickguard. The treble side of the neck pocket is "straight" which will result in the "shelf" showing under the neck.


The Broadcaster neck drawing...



The profile...



not quite a boat (V) neck, nor a "baseball" bat either, but a nice chunky neck.

I made significant changes to this drawing from my originals in my last build!
Another fellow that I met through here was David Eichelbaum. He worked on the "nitty gritty" section in the Blackguard book with Nacho. Talking with him on the phone I learned some particulars about the early 50s' necks that are reflected in these drawings.

The Verneer and maple cap neck drawings...



These will be a nice "C" shape!
