Fender Cyclone project
This is a project for HNB.
Not much to show yet. I'm waiting on some materials. It gives me plenty of time to work on the template.
HNB's Concept:
It's not too different really. Just a hard tail bridge instead of a Strat tremolo. And a 3-way Mustang slider switch instead of a toggle.

Re: Fender Cyclone project
Thinking of trying the black ink stain I saw in another thread or maybe white. Possibly even half white and half black like Sawao's from the pillows.

Cut the body out today from the flawless 3-piece alder blank which finally arrived.

Re: Fender Cyclone project
Almost there.
Next step will be the contours. My Angle grinder is out of action so there's been a delay there.

Cheers!
Here's some more progress pics.
The contours are about done. Needs more sanding.
Then I will need to drill the bridge in, which I'm not looking forward to.
