Godzilla build aka forgoten body

[kokodin]

After some practice with router on my last scrap build i decided to dig around in my room, because 2 years ago i happend to make alder body blank :]. i am so happy now that i didn't finish it as i then planed. Kind of mistery to me is the fact how the hell i routed edges with low speed electric drill with so little tear outs. Along with my 2nd practice neck from rainbow pine caster and some green paint it will make something crazy.The biggest question now is, should i go straight or angled with pickups?
Other things i will use
laquer and paint will be nitrocelucose. i kind of like to work with it.
neck will be painted ,freatboard only laquer coted.
i going to use 5 way switch to make split coil settings for both pickups.
And tele jack ring, because jack hole has been already drilled.

I second that motion

I think if you put your pots and switch inline with the angled pickups it would look incredible. Would mean drilling your own pick guard but would look great. The rear edge of the pickguard could be adjusted to match the angle of the pickups as well, the front edge already does

I also think B works better.

I seem to be a minority vote, but I think A looks way hotter than B. B's just been done and is kinda boring for how outlandish the instrument as a whole is. Go for the angled!

B is nicer, but that headstock is a monstrosity!

+1 for this.

My mom is also for the b-set :] I already have one angled in my first build, second have strat set and this "should have it different, so it should be straight" she said. Well if i hadn't waste so much plexi on the rainbow(two pickguard broke in half :]) , then i could do both and compare. But headstock is out of the question. It is my trademark :P
and i have done worse :] "bread slice"

disaster! i ruin neck which was almost ready. After some troubles with routing depth and router speed (it look like it gone down about 2 times and i dont known what happend) i couldn't route deep enough. i try to adjust it by half milimeter and then i press it harder down, and 1 i dig in in the side of the neck, 2 router beserk and have bite big piece of the heel . and 3 i gone too deep and truss rod gone out from the back. Neck is ruined and i don' have any maple left.

Ooh, that does not sound very good!

Now i need to take one day off work to travel 50 km by bus and spend some money on wood. And i don't even known where the bus stop is :] (small town and no comunication, last time i went there on my bike) But the biggest problem is that it getting kind of cold, and it's hard to work outside.
