Today was the official beginning of the explorer project. I'd already glued up the body month's ago and now I started trimming the body to final shape and size. I made a template for this one as I did for my first project guitar, the Egress. You can see pictures of the template making process in that projects menu. Here's what the body is starting to look like. It is made up of mahogany wings with alder and cherry stringers in the middle.
