@russ and @petervirdee Thank you. Although I have wiped it all off now, I’m going with a different design now. 

Yes @Russ – could well be something along those lines.
 
In years gone by I’ve experimented with shaping/carving the front of a Tele;

And also done a hardtail, twin P90s (in red, coincidentally!)

Posted by: @russ This is My Favourite Song For This Moment….. beautiful  I did think about trying that for an Acoustic Bliss.  But – probably for the best – decided against it!   From me today, prompted by a Christmas…   Read more»
