plywood shreds too much and it doesn't really keep shjape all that well, i have already tried it.
I meant something thicker than 1/4" 3/8", perhaps?
I think baltic birch plywood would be the best. Not too pricy too. (plus it'll look like you bought your templates at IKEA)

GREAT!! This is going to be for the Jesus-caster. That is a music-master with a hologramic Jesus pickguard. Should go for a mint on ebay! Can't wait.

I don't know what color yet. This is the one that will recieve the Hologramic Jesus Pickguard. I'm think about daphne blue. Also I don't know what neck I'm gonna use yet. I just bought another Bronco neck, but I think I'm gonna save that for a bronco. I may get a maple fretboard 24 inch warmoth for this one.

In short, I don't know where I am with that one yet.

It's just a "Light Blue" laquer from 2 little hobby shop spray cans...other than that, I have no idea.

It's really kind of a groovy color isn't it? At first, I wasn't too sure about it, but once we got it on the body, it really grew on me.

mewithoutus: anytime you're ready. I now do paypal! (well, that's a lie...I just use dave's paypal. :lol: )

I bought the vintage hologram off of ebay. I was looking for a bleeding Jesus, but I figured that this will do. Then I just made it. It'll be cool when I'm done.

It's a funny gimmick. If I had a Bronco, I wouldn't do it. But if I was sleeping with a guy who could make me Broncos all day long, I'd probably be tempted to do something funny like that,

I get it. You are implying that Aug and I are gay. I'm straight. Only Aug is gay.
