Made a bit of progress on the body.
I've transferred the (excellent) plans onto an MDF template that we'll use for shaping later. This is done with a variety of sanding and filing tools.
I didn't bother with the pickup routes, as those will be positioned using a standard telecaster template which @rodan and I have identical copies of.
This shape is then transferred to the body blank. Little tip I picked up is to draw the cutting line with a washer so that it's a smidge bigger than the shape you actually want - it's easier to point the bandsaw at an actual line rather than 'outside' the line you want.
Annoyingly my bandsaw couldn't make the cut - it's a cheap thing which can barely make cuts the depth of a guitar body, and it needs a new blade. I'll finish cutting out the body once it comes in.
