My little secret.

 

[NancyJohnson]

I've got everything except the pickguard.  I need to do some carpentry/filling before I order that.

 

I'm quite looking forward to this one.  Much better than forking out a grand for what I'm doing.

Customish pickguard pretty much sorted, although unordered.  Nice deep tortoiseshell.

 

I'll give you this:

Binding and blocks are not the sole preserve of Jazz basses, and thank deity for that!

Despite my love of the Thunderbird, I've always adored a Fenderesque neck with binding and blocks.  I suppose that harks back to my first Columbus Jazz.
