The puzzle top specs are as follows:

Maple neck with walnut and maple veneers

Maple fretboard with black position dots

Black bound fretboard and headstock, body will be bound aswell

Set neck

Hardware will be as follows:

DiMarzio Dactivators in bridge and neck positions

Black chrome Schaller licensed Floyd Rose low profile tremolo

Black chrome Schaller tuners

5 way pickup selector switch

1 volume and 1 tone

I will put more pics up as the job progresses.

Can some explain to me how to put pics directly on the posts when I make them??

Copy and paste the IMG code. If you're running windows, you can hover over the pic in photobucket and a drop down list of codes will appear. The IMG code is the bottom one. Just click it and it will say copied. Paste it in your post and you're good to go.

Thats amazing Fred looking forward to seeing this progressing,did you cut the jig-saw pieces yourself ?

[fredwire]

Yes and no! I got a friend with access to a cnc machine to make MDF templates of the jigsaw pieces and I used a router to cut around them. The material I used for the jigsaw is 4mm thick and bent nicely over the arm contour without having to stem bend the pieces. I used a vacuum press to stick it all onto the body.
