Part of the challenge is to make it "look" like a telecaster. Well to me, the easiest and fastest way to make a body that looks like a telecaster is to trace an existing Tele. So I did just that on a large piece of cardboard: ![[Linked Image]](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc331/rockndrtom/template01.jpg) Now that would be all I need if this was a one-neck instrument. However, the sympathetic strings will have their own neck, so the body has to be increased to allow for the second neck. I made some quick calculations, moved the tele over by the needed amount, and traced it again. Then I connected the two images, and smoothed the lines, drawing the finished outline darker with a Sharpie. ![[Linked Image]](http://i525.photobucket.com/albums/cc331/rockndrtom/template02.jpg) Next step, cut it out & transfer this to the wood.

"If someone is truly a jerk, or truly is not deserving of any positive reply from you, polite indifference is the best response you can give. Do not insult. Do not slam. Do not follow the urge to be nasty. Simply be politely indifferent." –Brian Austin Whitney
