Here's what the joint looks like now.
That area with the Xs on it gets cut back 5-6 mm for appearances.

Nice and snug, too. Full body lift.

Almost too fast. I don't have any pickups yet.
Well, I have one spare tele neck pickup and a few broken mystery buckers.

Thanks.
Dig it. I got the little fretboard overhang cut and the top slid fully into, um, position.
That filler is basswood. Ill have to figure out what to do with the coloring there. I may cap it or I might hit it with a Sharpie.

Man, these construction pics are gruesome, aren't they?
It's funny how all this crap comes together to make a piece.
You have to have an eye for the end product to see through these intermediate steps. They look ugly.
And weight currently with back, top and neck is 5 lb 15 oz. That's 2700g to the rest of the world. In good shape to stay under 8 pounds. (3,500g)
