Westone X390 Pantera CB - Tribute Guitar Build - Making the Body and route all cavities. 

Making the body for the Westone Pantera X390 Tribute Guitar Build and route most of the cavities and recesses.
Today I'm, starting to work on the guitar body for this build, starting with book matching the flamed maple top for this guitar.
Before I can cut and route the main body the Alder blank needs to be flattened.
When both the guitar top ands the main body are prepared they get glued together and I can start routing the neck pocket and all required cavities.
Routing the cavities on this guitar is a bit tricky due to the convex and concave surfaces on the guitar body.
Currently I'm on an irregular schedule for recording and releasing videos.
