    Some work I did lately for someone:

    A nice tele that wants a new cutaway:

    A design done by tracing curves from the other heel untill I got something I liked.

    1/4" Template cut out and sanded.

    3/4" working template made from the original, all lined up and ready for routing.

    One cut from the opposite side:

    If anyone wants the design I scanned it so I can email it. Just send me a PM.

    It was a bit but it felt fine. I wouldn't like to do it except in this case were the guy is playing a right-handed one left handed and wanted the fret access.

    At first, I thought NO!!!!!! But you pulled it off, Looks really great, telly's played upside down never look good, but that looks like a "custom" model:D
