@wayne_f Yeah, I offset the hole in my router base plate to avoid that happening. It’s no big deal, you can just cut some excess off or make the hole ...

A couple more pictures from the fretboard side and headstock.

Unmasking and test fit, I couldn’t resist. I’ll get some paint on the body next and then glue the neck in.

@markbailey Ahh… interesting, I didn’t know that. I’ve always used gravity fed guns for base and clears. I’ll have a look to see if those small inner ...

That looks really good man, I bet you are happy with it. Well done sir! On to the next one. 👍
