I have seen on other woodworking tutorials when cutting veneer, use blue masking tape and an exacto knife.

Do other people think that you could use the same method when drilling?

I could maybe understand using cheap wood for a prototype of an original design, but for a strat you might as well go straight for your real wood choice.

If you're worried about screwing up, just practice on scrap first.

The probability of screwup is high! But thanks for the confidence in my skills. I just called my local lumberyard, and they have 5/4 mahogany at a reasonable price. So I think I am going to do 1/4 maple, with a mahogany core.

Ill put some pics up as I get going.

I am in the design process for building my first strat project. I want to mock it up first.

I have searched through the archives and was unable to find the answer. What is a good (cheap) prototype wood? I am thinking about laminating the top and back with 1/4" maple so i can test the finish too.

Any ideas are appreciated.

Hey,

I have been lurking on the site for a while now, and figured I would finally get around to registering and introducing myself.

I have been contemplating a build for a long time now and thanks to all of the info and tutorials on the site, I am going to start soon.

Thanks again for making a great site of helpful info!
