Fantastic work, Ted. Thanks for sharing.

Up next is to sand the back and sides, then I will make a template for the body routes.

Ted, great work... binding looking good but man that wood is pretty! I just love what the grain is doing... Thanks so much for posting this exercise. And yes, I am a MG-aholic.

Isn't it just luberly!

I can't wait to see the finished product!

maybe you ought to make it look like the 4002 prototype, which had a normal 4001 like pickguard. I always found that one more appealing than the production version.

I know it's the busy Holiday time Ted, but I'm not letting this thread die. Updates?

Funny you should mention that. I was planning a trip down to the workshop tonight. I am behind on a few projects and really need to get myself back in gear.

C'mon Ted, the masses are waiting!!

Interesting that this got bumped - I was going to do that myself!

You da man, Joey.

Here is an update. Yes, it has been a long time. I hope to make them more frequent.

Here is the body routed for pickups and the tailpiece.

I tried a test fit of my genuine 4002 guard and tailpiece just for fun.

I still have to apply the outer binding and finish the sanding. More to come....

It looks quite enticing already.
