Kevin,
The bodies look sharp! Not to throw more work your way, but have you thought about necks? It's not like Mosrite style necks are too easy to come by. The big aftermarket parts sites don't have necks to match these bodies, let alone truly Mosrite style necks (zero fret, speed frets, volute, headstock shape). Just my $0.02.

Oh yeah, I planned on building necks as well. It's hard to find either part especially having one without the other.

For anybody following this thread I just about have all six bodies completed. Until I ran into a snag with one of them, the router chipped out a chunk of wood from the back edge. The words I used at the time were not pretty and would violate every posting rule if repeated here.

That's the way all my projects have been lately. Cool looking Tele bodies.

The bodies look sharp! If the router had to take a bite, that's a pretty repairable place compared to, say, the neck pocket.
Not that it's my place to say, but it sure would be cool to see one of the guitar builder here take on a Combo body, or a semi solid Mark I.

Funny you mentioned that as I thought about building a chamberd body next but want to sell what I got first so I have money to buy more wood. My hardwood supplier is reasonable but not cheap.
