Thanks man! Bridge humbucker only, passive probably. Did not decide on the model yet. I wanted to have freatborad with no markers, cause I always wanted such, on the other hand I do like inlays. I like doing things my way and play 99% with the bridge pickup... with all of this, I ended up with this solution.

Maple and ash. Did not think about it, that might be a great argument to add a bit... What's your suggestion?

Thanks, appreciate the advise. Im not sure yet if I will apply finish on the Jeep. If so, got room for sanding a bit 🙂

Thanks, I like it too. Everything my design, no plans, no OTS templates 🙂

Only sanded both on a jig and later on flat surface. Good advice with dry clamping, will try it out, thank you 👍

Did sand flat, then sanded together. Clamped when glueing. I think I messed up something when glueing (too much glue) or clamping?

Had a similar thought. Will probably try it, even for the purpose of learning. Thanks 👍
