Getting ready to do some more work on the body


Here I have marked parallel lines off the center line down the entire body just a hair narrower then the width of  the tenon. I can always sand the tenon a little to make a tight fit. I have done lots of thinking on how to route this mortise.  I think I am going to screw to pieces of MDF with a perfect straight edges down along the lines I marked. Placing the screws where I will be routing out the pick-ups. This is the most critical step I am getting ready to attempt. Lots of blogs I have seen on building a guitar with a set neck (by people who are not luthiers) end at this step.  Stay tuned and see what happens.
