I took these pictures just before I went on maternity leave:

  And now your guitar is in spray:

  The flash made it look a bit brighter red color than it is in real life, but there's no denying it's a fine looking guitar.

Cool, is this to be a Further shaped guitar with Series electronics?

Looks awesome, that's for sure!  My kind of figuring... BTC with lines in the middle for a disguised BTC, and swirls and detail on the outside.

Wow, your top, back, body, neck, and pinstripes... all look EXTREMELY similar to my new custom (well... I guess your back is a little different in the figuring)!!!
 
The point being... I can tell you from personal experience that you've got a killer wood recipe, and it's going to sound AWESOME!!!

I still can't believe we got Series II electronics in a Further body. Well, they aren't totally in yet, but they will totally be in tomorrow.

This is a great guitar!!!  Mica, maybe a larger hammer would help get those guts in there.

That looks great. Is the 5-pin connector on the side or is it a battery only guitar?

I think you can see it is side-mounted in the 2nd to last photo jazzy, which leads to my question....... are the leds on a dimmer (there seems to be an extra knob)?

Hi Kevin,  Here's the Coco Bolo front and back with the proposed cutlines:

  These are successive slices from the same thick board. Let me know if everything looks good to you and we'll get to choppin'.

Sapwood.  It's the only contribution I can make here.
 
I'm going to have to order another bass with sapwood.
