Saw this on Instagram and meant to post here! It's looking so well, can't wait to see it all come together!
How about something like this heel on the Ibanez AZ? Bolt-on but make it curvy?
Nahguavkire-
Thanks!
I was convinced I could something get this Tao neck / heel to fit (because they're both a bit pointy), but when I actually came to lay it out I can't make the lines work 😁 Do love that heel shape though - not sure I'd be able to copy it, looks hard!
The semi circle around that Ibanez might be doable, and I'd definitely use those bolts rather than a plate.

I know a couple of you chaps are on Instagram so apologies for double posting... However, I've had the week off work and made some inroads into my Mockingbird body.
There's not an awful lot of carpentry left on it - just the neck shaping and pickup routes, then onto the inlay and decorative bits and bobs.
I've also got to make a decision about the heel. I feel like the shape almost demands some all-access type thing, but I quite like the idea of a bolt on as it'll make the finishing a lot easier (oiled neck, painted body)
