Okay, so to prevent this thread from becoming a "watch me fail at woodworking in every conceivable way" thread, here's some good-ish news:
Everything went better than expected.
The second glue up was way better than the first. After flattening that to a workable degree, I cut out the body using a table mounted jigsaw. First blade got promptly bent, so I changed to a 20cm festool monster, which made short work of the ash. Somewhat respect inducing.
After that, I routed the body outline to shape, which went well, and sanded to shape on the belt sander.
Only minor fixable, or already fixed, accidents today. And I ended the day with something guitar shaped.
The bad join isn't so bad on the outline. I have photographed the worst bit and I think I can mask that and live with it.
The part where the four boards meet looks pretty sweet though.
